Formulas Used by the Calculator

Net Words Per Minute (Net WPM)

Net WPM = max(0, ((Total Characters - (Uncorrected Errors × 5)) / 5) / Time in Minutes)

Each uncorrected error is penalized by 5 characters (1 standard word). If errors exceed typed output, Net WPM is bounded at zero.

Typing Accuracy Percentage

Accuracy % = ((Total Characters - Errors) / Total Characters) × 100

Measures what portion of your physical input consisted of correct characters.
