What is Reading Time Calculator?

Reading Time Calculator estimates how many minutes it takes to read a piece of text based on word count and your chosen reading speed. It is perfect for bloggers, students, and content creators who want to display estimated reading times.

How to use

  1. Step 1 — Paste or type your text into the input area.
  2. Step 2 — Adjust the reading speed slider if your audience reads faster or slower than the default 200 WPM.
  3. Step 3 — View the estimated reading time along with word count, character count, and sentence count statistics.

Result

A blogger pastes a 1,500-word article and keeps the default 200 WPM speed. The calculator shows an estimated reading time of 7 minutes 30 seconds, which she adds to her blog post header.
