How to Use The Bible Reading Calculator

Want to read the entire Bible? Knowing how long it will take can be a great motivator to stick with your goal.

To get started, measure your reading speed: set a timer for one minute and read from the beginning of Genesis. When the minute is up, count the number of words you read — that’s your words-per-minute pace. Enter that number above, select your Bible version, and we’ll calculate your personalised reading time.

It’s a big challenge — but a deeply rewarding one. Jeremiah will take the longest as it has the biggest word count of them all! Good luck – you can do it!
