Flesch-Kincaid Formula
This is a US Government Department of Defense standard test 16.
(i) Calculate L, the average sentence length (number of words ÷ number of sentences). Estimate the number of sentences to the nearest tenth, where necessary.
(ii) Calculate N, the average number of syllables per word (number of syllables ÷ number of words).
Then grade level = ( L × 0.39 ) + ( N × 11.8 ) - 15.59
So Reading Age = ( L × 0.39 ) + ( N × 11.8 ) - 10.59 years.
