Open your dashboardHow WPM is calculated
One word equals five characters. Gross WPM counts every character you type; Net WPM counts only the correct ones. That's why accuracy directly affects your score.
Read the guide →Why accuracy matters
Every mistake costs time to fix and breaks your rhythm. Most people get faster by making fewer errors, not by moving their fingers faster.

Frequently asked questions
Is TypeSpeedLab free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. Everything runs in your browser.
How is my typing speed measured?
We use the standard five-character word. Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters divided by five, divided by minutes. See our methodology page for the full formulas.
Do you store what I type?
No. Your keystrokes and results are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.
Can I use a phone?
Yes, but on-screen keyboards with autocorrect can change your results. For the most accurate measurement, use a physical keyboard.
Are the results an official certification?
No. Results are generated locally for practice and self-assessment and are not an official certification or a guarantee of employment.
