Free Reading Time Estimator — Estimate Read Time by Word Count

Text Words per minute

How to use

Show “X min read” on blog posts or articles.

How is reading time calculated?

We count words and divide by words-per-minute (default 200 WPM). You can adjust WPM for slower or faster readers.

What’s a typical WPM?

Adults often read 200–250 WPM for normal text. Technical or dense text may be slower; we let you set a custom WPM.

Is this accurate?

It’s an estimate. Actual reading time depends on content difficulty and the reader. Useful for blog posts and articles.
