Formula and method
Under the five-keystroke word convention, 60 words per minute equals 300 keystrokes per minute and 18,000 keystrokes per hour. These are rate conversions, not a measurement of accuracy.
Keystrokes per minute = words per minute × 5; keystrokes per hour = keystrokes per minute × 60
Worked example

Assumptions and limitations
- A standard word is five keystrokes, including characters counted by your typing test. The extended day-based unit options use a sixteen-hour active day; use minute or hour units for ordinary timed tests.
- Use the units shown beside each field. This model assumes the stated relationship and does not account for quantities left out of the formula.
