About Rubik Cube Moves Calculator

Solve time is the method's typical move count divided by your turning speed, and efficiency compares that move count with God's number, the proven 20 move maximum in the half-turn metric. Speed comes from fewer moves at least as much as from faster hands, which is why switching from a beginner method halves solve time at the same turning rate.

Formulas

Turning time

seconds = move count / turns per second

Efficiency

efficiency % = 20 / method move count x 100

Worked example

With the default values below, Rubik Cube Moves Calculator returns Turning time of 14.00. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Inputs used

Methodone of Beginner layer by layer (about 110 moves), CFOP (about 56 moves), Roux (about 48 moves): CFOP (about 56 moves)
Your turns per secondminimum 0.1: 4
Inspection timeminimum 0 s: 15 s

Results

Turning time: 14.00 s
Total time including inspection: 29.00 s
Typical move count for the method: 56
Efficiency against God's number of 20: 35.71%

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Rubik Cube Moves figure worked out?

seconds = move count / turns per second. Solve time is the method's typical move count divided by your turning speed, and efficiency compares that move count with God's number, the proven 20 move maximum in the half-turn metric.

Why does this matter?

Speed comes from fewer moves at least as much as from faster hands, which is why switching from a beginner method halves solve time at the same turning rate.

What do I need to enter?

Enter method, your turns per second, inspection time. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
