Free online typing test

A focused 60-second baseline using natural English sentences and corrected WPM.

The rules stay fixed
Timing starts with the first valid character.
Backspace is allowed and unresolved errors reduce Net WPM.
Pasting and scripted input do not create a valid result.

Your timer starts with the first character, not the button press.

Clear communication begins with a steady rhythm. Accurate typing gives each thought room to arrive without interruption. Keep your hands relaxed, return your fingers to the home row, and let control create speed. Clear communication begins with a steady rhythm.

Your next useful test

Repeat once for a median baseline, or use the three-minute test to measure stability.

How your score is calculated

The same rules apply to every test, so results stay comparable from one session to the next.

Net WPM
Gross speed minus uncorrected errors. Gross speed counts every five typed characters as one word.
Raw WPM
Every character you typed divided by five, per minute, including mistakes.
Accuracy
Correct characters divided by all characters typed.
Consistency
How evenly your speed held across the session. A higher value means fewer sudden slowdowns.

About this free online typing test

This typing test gives you a 60-second measurement of your typing speed, accuracy and consistency. One minute is the most widely used length for a typing test, which makes your result easy to compare with scores you see elsewhere, and long enough for your hands to settle into a rhythm.

The test is free, needs no account and runs entirely in your browser. When it ends you get net WPM, raw WPM, accuracy, consistency, a pace chart and the keys you missed most, together with one recommended next step.

How the typing test works

Click Start, then type the passage exactly as shown. The timer starts on your first keystroke and stops after 60 seconds. Backspace is allowed, but any mistake left in the text lowers your net WPM and your accuracy.

  • Type capitals, punctuation and spaces exactly as shown.
  • Press Escape to pause, and Ctrl or Cmd + Enter to restart.
  • Pasted text is blocked and makes the attempt invalid.

How your typing speed is calculated

A typing test counts a word as five characters, including spaces, so long and short words are treated fairly. Raw WPM is characters typed divided by five, divided by minutes. Net WPM subtracts the wrong characters per minute, so it only rewards correct text.

Accuracy is the share of typed characters that matched the passage. Consistency shows how evenly your speed held, based on samples every five seconds.

What is a good result on a typing test?

Around 40 WPM is comfortable for everyday writing, 50 to 70 WPM suits most office and study work, and above 70 WPM is fast. A large 2018 study of 168,000 typists found an average of roughly 52 WPM.

Treat accuracy as part of the score: a result you can repeat at 95% accuracy or better is worth more than one fast run full of errors.

Get a fair result every time

Use the same keyboard, warm up with a few sentences, sit upright and look at the screen rather than your hands. Take three attempts and use the middle score, because the first is often nervous and the last tired.

Where to go after the typing test

If accuracy is below 95%, practise your weak keys. If your pace is uneven, try sentence practice. If both are solid, move on to the 3-minute or 5-minute typing test to measure stamina, or work through the touch typing course to build the habit properly.
