What does this calculator show?

This calculator estimates the amount of free time you could reclaim by cutting back on or fully quitting social media, based on how much time you currently spend on it each day and how long you plan to keep the change up.

How it works

It multiplies your current daily social media minutes by the percentage reduction you choose, then projects that daily savings across a year and across the number of years you enter. The result is shown in hours, in equivalent full 24-hour days, and as a share of your waking hours over that period, so the scale of the time is easier to picture.

This is a simple arithmetic projection for general self-reflection and planning purposes, not a guarantee of how you would actually spend the freed-up time, and it does not account for any benefits or drawbacks of social media use itself.
