Nails grow at an average rate of 0.1 mm/day (1 cm every 100 days). Fingernails require 4 to 6 months to regrow completely. Toenails require 12 to 18 months. Actual growth rate is dependent upon age, season, exercise level, and hereditary factors.

Each finger grows its nail at a different rate, with longer fingers growing their nails more quickly.
For the average person, the rate at which a nail grows is somewhere around 1-2 mm per week.
