What is a typing speed test?
A typing speed test measures how fast and how accurately you can type. You type a short passage on your keyboard, and the test counts your speed in words per minute (WPM) and your accuracy — the percentage of characters you typed correctly. It is the standard way to check your typing skill, and it is used by students, job seekers, data-entry workers, writers and anyone who works on a computer all day. Most jobs that involve a keyboard — from office work to freelancing — expect at least 40 WPM, and a good typist reaches 60 WPM or more.
WPM is calculated from the number of correct characters you type, not just the keys you press. The standard formula is: WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. Five characters — including spaces — count as one word, which is the typing industry standard. So if you type 200 correct characters in one minute, your speed is 40 WPM. Accuracy is simpler: correct characters divided by all characters typed, as a percentage. A fast typist with 80% accuracy is slower in practice than a steady typist at 50 WPM with 98% accuracy, because every mistake costs time to fix.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good typing speed?
An average typist scores 35–45 WPM. Office and data-entry jobs usually ask for 40 WPM or more, a good typist reaches 60 WPM, and professionals type 80–100 WPM.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. Five characters, including spaces, count as one word — the standard typing formula. Only correctly typed characters count towards your speed.
Is the typing test really free?
Yes, 100% free, no sign-up, no limits. It runs entirely in your browser — take the test as many times as you like, and your best score and history stay on your device.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — tap the typing box to open your phone keyboard and type the passage. The timer, live WPM, accuracy and CPM work the same on mobile as on a computer.
What is CPM?
CPM is characters per minute — how many correct characters you type in a minute. It is a finer measure than WPM: if two people both type 50 WPM, the one with the higher CPM typed more characters.
How do I type faster?
Accuracy first: slow down until you are above 95%, keep your fingers on the home row, and practise 10 minutes a day. See the <a href="/typing-tips">typing tips page</a> for the full guide.
