If you use Microsoft Word as your word processing program, you can check in there, too. Press the F1 key or click on Help, and enter readability. You'll get directions on how to calculate this.

I put your two sentences into Word and here are the results:

Characters: 183
Paragraphs: 1
Sentences: 2
Readability
Passive sentences: 100%
Flesch reading ease: 68.0

You'll need to interpret all that yourself!!
