In other words, a fast but error-prone typist will receive a lower net typing speed than a slower but more accurate typist - relatively speaking of course. This makes sense because proof-reading and correcting errors takes up more time than simply typing a passage correctly in the first place.
Less mistakes also means less chance for errors being missed during proof-reading and making their way into the final product. To calculate Net WPM, take your gross WPM result and subtract the amount of errors you left in per minute, also known as the error rate. To calculate error rate, simply divide the number of errors by the time you typed for in minutes. Note that for every mistake you make per minute your typing speed goes down by 1 WPM.
This is a rather simple equation - the hard part is actually deciding which types of errors should be counted. There are two kinds of errors:. The first impulse is to count all errors regardless of correction, however there are two strong arguments as to why only the uncorrected errors should be penalized:. This means that the time penalty is already built into the process of correcting a mistake.
An additional time penalty on top of the inherent time penalty discourages the typist from correcting their mistakes in the first place.
