The reading time calculator estimates how long it will take to read a book, article, or assignment based on page count and reading speed. This helps with planning study schedules and managing reading assignments.
Enter the number of pages, average words per page (250 is typical for books), and your reading speed (200 words per minute is average). The calculator provides time estimates in various units.
This is invaluable for students planning when to complete assigned readings, readers choosing which book to tackle next, or anyone wanting to schedule reading time realistically.
