How Is Typing Accuracy Calculated?
Typing accuracy is calculated by comparing the number of correct characters with the total number of characters typed.
Typing Accuracy = Correct Characters ÷ Total Characters Typed × 100
For example, if you type 200 characters and 190 are correct, your typing accuracy is 95%.
Spaces, punctuation marks, capital letters, and incorrect characters may affect your final accuracy score. Try to type carefully instead of rushing through the text.
What Is a Good Typing Accuracy Score?
A higher accuracy score means you are making fewer typing mistakes.
- 98%–100%: Excellent accuracy
- 95%–97%: Good accuracy
- 90%–94%: Needs some improvement
- Below 90%: Focus on slower and more controlled practice
Speed is useful, but accurate typing should come first. Once you can type consistently with fewer errors, you can gradually work on increasing your words per minute.
How to Improve Typing Accuracy
Keep your fingers on the correct home-row keys and look at the screen instead of the keyboard. Start at a comfortable pace, press each key carefully, and practice the letters or key combinations that cause frequent mistakes.
Regular short practice sessions can help you develop better finger control and typing consistency. After improving your accuracy, take our free typing speed test to measure your WPM.
