To determine net words a minute:

Total words (5 characters = 1 word), divided by number of minutes of the timing, minus 2 for each error = nwpm

So, if you typed 75 words in 3 minutes with 2 errors on the timing, you would calculate net words per minute as follows:

75 words, divided by 3 (number of minutes) = 25 gwpm (gross words per minute) minus 4 (2 errors) = 21 nwpm - (net words per minute)
