WPM = (Words without Net WPM = WPM A person typed Gross Speed = 50/2 Net Speed = 25
errors + Words with - (Words with 50 words per => 25 wpm - (6/2)
Word errors) / Time spent in errors / Time 2 mins. with => 22 wpm
minutes spent in minutes) errors in 6
words.
CPM = (Characters Net CPM = CPM - A person typed Gross Speed = Net Speed =
without errors + (Characters with 250 characters 250/2 125 - (30/2)
Characters Characters with errors) errors / Time per 2 mins. with => 125 cpm => 110 cpm
/ Time spent in minutes spent in minutes) errors in 30
characters.
KPM = (Keystrokes Net KPM = KPM - A person typed Gross Speed = Net Speed =
without errors + (Keystrokes with 200 keystrokes 200/2 100 - (40/2)
