Video Time Calculator
Whether you’re a content creator, video editor, or avid viewer, knowing the exact duration of videos and how long it takes to watch them is crucial. The Video Time Calculator helps you quickly compute total video lengths, remaining watch time, adjusted playback duration considering speed changes, and total time for multiple videos at once.
This versatile tool simplifies planning your watch sessions, editing timelines, or organizing batch video projects by providing accurate time calculations down to the second. Say goodbye to manual calculations and confusion—this calculator does it all in one place with easy input fields and multiple modes tailored for different needs.
How to Use the Video Time Calculator

Choose from four options:- Calculate Total Duration: Input video length to get total duration.
- Calculate Remaining Time: Enter total video length and time already watched.
- Calculate with Playback Speed: Adjust total duration based on playback speed (including custom speed).
- Calculate Multiple Videos: Calculate total watch time for a batch of videos given number and average length.
- Enter Video Duration:
Fill in hours, minutes, and seconds of the video. - Enter Additional Details if Needed:
- For remaining time: Add time already watched.
- For playback speed: Choose standard or custom playback speed.
- For batch videos: Provide number of videos and average length per video.
- Select Skip Intro/Outro (Optional):
Choose how many seconds to skip from each video (e.g., 30 seconds or 1 minute). - Calculate:
Click the Calculate button to see detailed results including original duration, remaining time, adjusted time based on speed, total time, time saved, and completion percentage. - Reset:
Use the Reset button to clear inputs and start fresh.
Example Usage
- Total Duration:
Enter 1 hour, 45 minutes, and 30 seconds for a single video. The calculator shows the full duration as 1:45:30. - Remaining Time:
For the same video, if you’ve watched 0:45:00, the remaining time will be 1:00:30, along with a completion percentage of about 51%. - Playback Speed:
Watching that video at 1.5x speed will adjust the total viewing time to 1:10:20 approximately, saving you 35 minutes. - Batch Videos:
If you have 5 videos averaging 20 minutes each and want to skip 30 seconds intro per video, the total watch time is calculated considering these details.
