The Flesch Reading Ease score measures how easy it is to read text. Higher scores indicate easier reading. The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level translates the score to a U.S. school grade level. For example, a score of 8.0 means an 8th grader can understand the text.
Write with confidence and clarity. Our Readability Score Calculator instantly analyzes your text to see how easy it is to understand. Using trusted metrics like Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, this tool helps you connect with your audience, improve engagement, and make your message accessible to everyone. Perfect for bloggers, marketers, and writers who care about quality.
Readability scores measure how simple your writing is to understand. Formulas like Flesch-Kincaid analyze sentence length and word complexity (syllables) to generate a score. A higher Reading Ease score (0-100) means your text is easier to read, while the Grade Level score shows the U.S. school grade needed to comprehend it. Using these metrics helps you create clear, effective content that resonates with a broader audience.
The tool implements two proven readability formulas. The Flesch Reading Ease formula: 206.835 - 1.015 × (Total Words / Total Sentences) - 84.6 × (Total Syllables / Total Words). The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level formula: 0.39 × (Total Words / Total Sentences) + 11.8 × (Total Syllables / Total Words) - 15.59. These calculations provide a reliable measure of text complexity, empowering writers to improve clarity.
For most online content, a Flesch Reading Ease score of 60-70 is great. This means your text is easily understood by the average reader (around an 8th-grade level).
