How your typing speed is calculated

Words per minute is calculated using the standard definition of a word as five characters, including spaces. Your net WPM counts only correctly typed characters, so accuracy is built into the score rather than reported separately from it. Raw WPM counts everything you typed, and the gap between the two numbers tells you how much speed you are losing to errors.

What counts as a good score

The average adult types between 35 and 45 words per minute. Around 60 WPM is a comfortable professional standard, and sustained speeds above 90 WPM put you in roughly the top few percent of typists. Accuracy matters more than raw speed: typing at 70 WPM with 99% accuracy is faster in practice than 90 WPM with 90% accuracy, because every error costs you the time to notice and fix it.

Practising deliberately

Repeating a test you already find easy builds very little. Improvement comes from working slightly above your comfortable speed, keeping accuracy above 97%, and targeting the specific keys and transitions that slow you down. Short daily sessions of ten to fifteen minutes outperform occasional long ones.

Frequently asked questions

Is this typing test free?

Yes. Every test, lesson and game on Typing Studio is free, with no account and no signup. There is no paid tier.

Is my typing data sent anywhere?

No. There is no backend and no database. Your results are stored in your own browser using IndexedDB and never leave your device. Clearing your browser data erases them permanently.

How is WPM calculated?

A word is defined as five characters including spaces. Net WPM divides your correctly typed characters by five and scales to a minute, so errors reduce your score directly.

What is a good typing speed?

Most adults type 35–45 WPM. About 60 WPM is a solid professional benchmark, and above 90 WPM is fast. Consistent accuracy above 97% matters more than peak speed.

Does the test work offline?

Yes. Typing Studio is a progressive web app. Once you have loaded it, tests and lessons keep working with no internet connection.
