Calculate how long it will take to read a book based on its page count and your reading speed
Learn how to use the Book Time Calculator to estimate reading times
The average reading speed for adults is about 200-300 words per minute. However, this can vary based on several factors:
If a book has 300 pages and you read at a speed of 250 words per minute, the calculation would be:
300 pages × 250 words/page = 75,000 words
75,000 words ÷ 250 words/minute = 300 minutes
300 minutes = 5 hours
This means it would take you approximately 5 hours to read the book.
