Calculate how long it will take to read a book, article, or text based on your Words Per Minute (WPM).
Knowing how long an article, essay, or book will take to read helps you manage your time effectively. Many modern blogs display an "Estimated Reading Time" at the top of their posts.
Our Reading Time Calculator helps you find this out instantly. Just enter the total word count of the text and your reading speed in Words Per Minute (WPM). By default, it uses 238 WPM, which is the average reading speed for an adult English speaker.
