Reading-time calculator

Enter a word count and your own reading speed. The initial 200 words per minute is an adjustable planning example.

Estimated reading time: 10.0 minutes.

Calibrate your estimate

Read a representative passage for five minutes, count the words you covered and divide by five. A technical paper may take much longer than a familiar narrative of the same length.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include note-taking?

No. Time equals words divided by words per minute. Add time for notes, rereading, equations and breaks, or measure your speed on a similar text.
