What Is a Good Typing Speed?

The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. Professional typists achieve 65-75 WPM, while expert typists can exceed 100 WPM. Here's a quick benchmark:

  • Under 30 WPM: Below average — practice daily
  • 30–50 WPM: Average — comfortable for everyday use
  • 50–70 WPM: Above average — efficient typist
  • 70–100 WPM: Fast — professional level
  • 100+ WPM: Expert — top tier

How to Improve Your Typing Speed

Focus on accuracy first — speed follows naturally. Practice proper finger placement on the home row keys (ASDF and JKL;). Take short daily practice sessions rather than infrequent long ones. Learn keyboard shortcuts to reduce reliance on the mouse. Check out our Keyboard Shortcuts for Productivity guide for tips.
