1. What is Average Typing Speed On Keyboard?

Definition: This calculator computes the average typing speed in words per minute (WPM) from multiple test results.

Purpose: It helps individuals assess their typing proficiency by averaging multiple typing test results.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( AS \) — Average typing speed (WPM)
• \( \Sigma WPM \) — Sum of all WPM values
• \( N \) — Number of tests (unitless)

Explanation: The calculator sums all provided WPM values and divides by the number of tests to get the average.

3. Importance of Average Typing Speed

Details: Knowing your average typing speed helps in job applications (many require minimum WPM), tracking improvement, and setting goals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all your WPM test results separated by commas (e.g., "45, 52, 48, 50"). The calculator will ignore any non-numeric values.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good average typing speed?
A: 40 WPM is average, 65+ WPM is considered excellent, and 100+ WPM is professional typist level.

Q2: How many tests should I include?
A: For accuracy, include at least 5-10 tests taken at different times.

Q3: Should I include very low or high outliers?
A: Yes, they're part of your performance, unless they resulted from obvious distractions.

Q4: How can I improve my average?
A: Practice regularly, use proper finger placement, and consider typing tutor software.

Q5: Does this account for accuracy?
A: No, this calculates raw speed. Many tests adjust WPM for errors.
