About this calculator
Enter the number of pages you read and how long it took, and the calculator will give you your reading pace in pages per hour and minutes per page. You can then enter a target book length to see how long it would take to finish at that pace.
Adults typically read light fiction at 200–300 pages per hour; dense nonfiction or technical material may be considerably slower. Knowing your actual pace for different genres helps set realistic reading goals and makes it easier to plan how many books you can realistically finish in a given period.
