Typing Speed Converter

See Your Productivity at Scale

This simple converter helps you see your typing productivity over a longer timeframe. It takes your typing speed in the standard Words Per Minute (WPM) metric and converts it to Words Per Hour (WPH). This can be useful for transcriptionists, writers, or anyone whose work is measured by typing output.

The Conversion Formula Explained

The formula is a direct conversion of the time unit: Words Per Hour (WPH) = Words Per Minute (WPM) * 60 minutes/hour

How to Use the Calculator

• Enter WPM: Input your typing speed in Words Per Minute.
• The calculator will instantly display the equivalent speed in Words Per Hour.

Real-World Example

Your average typing speed is 65 WPM.

• Calculation: 65 * 60 = 3,900
• Your speed is 3,900 WPH.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Is WPH a standard metric? Not as much as WPM. WPM is the universal standard for measuring typing speed. WPH is more of a productivity metric used in specific data entry or transcription jobs.
• Does this account for breaks? No. This is a direct mathematical conversion. It assumes you could maintain your WPM speed consistently for an entire hour. In reality, your actual output over an hour would be lower due to breaks, pauses, and fatigue.
• What is a 'word' in typing tests? For standardization, a 'word' in a typing test is defined as five characters, including spaces.
