Keystroke per hour (kph) refers to the number of times a person presses the keys of a computer or typewriter in an hour. This varies from person to person and improves with practice.

kpm = wpm × 5. To convert words per minute to keystrokes per minute, you need to multiply the words per minute by five.

For example, Mary is applying for a job as a secretary, and her words per minute is 18. To calculate Mary's keystrokes per minute, using the formula above, we need to substitute her words per minute and calculate:

kpm = 18 × 5
kpm = 90

Our keystroke-per-hour calculator is intuitive. If you know your keystrokes per hour, you need to type it into the keystroke per hour field, and your keystroke per minute and words per minute will be calculated automatically.

On the other hand, let's say you know your words per minute. You can type this into the matching field, and the calculator will return your keystrokes per hour and keystrokes per minute in real time.

To calculate keystrokes per hour (kph) from words per minute (wpm), you will need to use the formula:

kph = wpm × 300

For example, Ingrid is a typist clerk, and she types 18 words per minute. Using this information, calculate Ingrid keystrokes per hour.

kph = wpm × 300
kph = 18 × 300
kph = 5400

From this, we know that Ingrid types 5400 keystrokes per hour.
