How it is calculated
Words = pages × words per page. Reading minutes = words ÷ speed. Days = ceiling(minutes ÷ daily minutes).
Example
Inputs: Pages = 300, Words per page = 250, Reading speed = 200 wpm, Reading minutes per day = 30 min. Result: Reading time: 6 h 15 min; In minutes: 375; Approximate words: 75,000.
Limits and caveats
- Words per page vary with font and format, so count a typical page for accuracy.
- Speed varies with language and difficulty; reading to study is slower than reading for pleasure.
