Fog Index

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Index Another widely used measure is the Flesch/Flesch–Kincaid Readability Tests, which consist of the Flesch Reading Ease (developed by Rudolph Flesch in 1948) and the Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level (developed by John P. Kincaid in 1976). The Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level Index converts the Flesch Reading Ease into a number that indicates the years of education a person needs to have to easily understand the text.

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Index Calculate the Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level Index (FKGLI) using the following formula:
