The typing speed test calculator measures both speed and accuracy, providing gross WPM (raw speed) and net WPM (adjusted for errors). This gives a more complete picture of typing proficiency.
Enter words typed, time taken, and errors made. The calculator shows your speed metrics, accuracy percentage, and skill rating based on net WPM.
This is valuable for job applications requiring typing skills, for tracking improvement through practice, or for students learning keyboarding. Net WPM is the standard metric employers use.
