How many words is that? Typing speed to words typed
A word is 5 characters, spaces included. Multiply your net WPM by the minutes to get the words you type; multiply the words by 5 for the keystrokes.
| Net WPM | Words in 10 min · keystrokes |
|---|---|
| 20 wpm | 200 words · 1,000 keys |
| 25 wpm | 250 words · 1,250 keys |
| 30 wpm | 300 words · 1,500 keys |
| 35 wpm | 350 words · 1,750 keys |
| 40 wpm | 400 words · 2,000 keys |
| 50 wpm | 500 words · 2,500 keys |
| 60 wpm | 600 words · 3,000 keys |
How to type faster
- Learn the home row (A S D F, J K L ;) and rest your fingers there. Touch typing with your eyes on the passage is faster than hunting for keys.
- Put accuracy before speed. Net WPM subtracts errors, so a slower clean run usually scores higher than a fast messy one.
- Read two or three words ahead of the cursor to keep a steady rhythm instead of typing word by word.
- Practise at the full exam length a few times a week. Concentration fades in the last minutes and only full runs train that.
- Sit with straight wrists and the screen at eye level, and take a short break between runs to avoid strain.

How is typing speed (WPM) calculated?
Every 5 characters count as one word. Gross WPM is all characters typed divided by 5, per minute. Net WPM is correct characters minus incorrect characters, divided by 5, per minute, and net WPM is the figure compared with a qualifying speed. Accuracy is correct characters as a percentage of everything typed.
