Reading time calculator
How long will this take to read?
Turn a word count or page count into minutes using reading speed. Estimate how long to read 100 pages or a chapter. This page is not a study planner and not a typing WPM test.
Find reading time
Leave blank if you only know pages.
200 is a common adult reading speed. This is not a typing WPM test.
How the reading time calculator works
This reading time calculator divides words by words per minute. If you only know pages, it multiplies pages by words per page first. It does not plan exam hours and it is not a typing speed test.
How to use the calculator
- Enter words, or enter pages and words per page.
- Set a reading speed. 200 words a minute is a common pace.
- Read the time in hours and minutes.
- Open the study calculator if you need to spread that time across days.
Worked example
A 3,000 word article at 200 words a minute is 15 minutes. If you only know pages, enter pages and words per page.
Understanding your result
Change words per page or reading speed if your book is denser. To spread the time across days until a test, use the study calculator.
