What is CPM?
The CPM stands for Character Per Minute. CPM typing speed means how many characters you can type in a minute. Characters include letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and spaces. For example: ‘How are you‘ contains 11 characters – 9 letters and 2 spaces.
What is WPM?
Words per minute, commonly abbreviated as WPM is a measurement of the typing speed of a person. It tells how many words an individual can write in a minute. According to international typing standards, a word is standardized to five keystrokes, including spaces and punctuation marks. That means I see and mango both are treated as 1 word because both of them contain 5 characters only.
Similarly, ‘I can write’ and ‘Vegetables’ both are two words.
How to Convert CPM to WPM?
1 word contains five characters or keystrokes, which means 1 Word = 5 Characters, therefore to convert CPM to WPM, we need to divide the CPM by 5 to get the typing speed in WPM.
WPM = CPM / 5
Example: Convert 150 CPM to WPM.
We have CPM = 150
Using the above formula, we will get WPM = CPM / 5 = 150/5 => 30.
Therefore, 150 CPM = 30 WPM.
