About this calculator

Sticking to a daily screen time goal, whether it's self-imposed or set for a child, is easier when you can see exactly how much time is left rather than just a running total of minutes used so far. This calculator takes your daily limit and how much screen time you've already used today, subtracts the two, and shows the remaining minutes available, flagging clearly if you've already gone over budget rather than displaying a confusing negative number. Phone and app screen time reports show cumulative usage but rarely frame it against a personal goal in a simple remaining-time figure. Entering your limit and today's usage here gives an immediate, easy-to-check number you can glance at throughout the day to decide whether there's room for more screen time or it's time to log off.

Worked example

120 min limit, 45 min used

Result: 75 minutes remaining
