Frequently asked questions
What is a good WPM typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is average for an adult, 60 to 80 WPM is good, and 80 WPM or more is professional level. Competitive typists exceed 150 WPM.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM = (characters typed / 5) / minutes elapsed. The five character convention includes spaces and is the standard used by typing tests and transcription employers.
What's the difference between WPM and raw WPM?
Raw WPM counts everything you typed, mistakes included. Net WPM, the headline number, only counts correctly typed characters, so a big gap between the two means accuracy is your bottleneck.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Keep your fingers on home row, never look down, and slow down until your accuracy is above 97 percent — speed built on errors does not stick. Short daily sessions beat occasional long ones.
Can I take the typing test on a phone?
You can, but the on-screen keyboard and autocorrect distort the result. For a comparable score use a physical keyboard.

About this typing speed test
This is the 60 seconds version of our typing speed test, locked to a single duration so every score on this page is directly comparable. This typing speed test reports WPM using the industry standard formula: every five characters typed counts as one word, divided by elapsed minutes. Correct characters turn green, mistakes stay visible in red instead of vanishing, and the caret never gets stuck — so the number you get here lines up with other serious typing tests.
