Social media time

The calculator uses the numbers you enter: social-media minutes and the limit. 45 minus 30 times 7 over 60 is 1.8 hours above. Checks sit in the grid.

The calculator does not block apps and does not read the phone. Non-work screens: non-work screen time.

Input data

Enter minutes, the limit, and checks. You can leave the app count blank.

Optional context

This field is optional. The number of apps shows minutes per app in the grid. A blank field skips that context and does not change the main result.

How it works

The calculator subtracts the limit from the minutes, multiplies the difference by 7, and divides by 60. 45 minus 30 times 7 over 60 is 1.8 hours above.

The main result comes from minutes and the limit. Checks, minutes after 22:00, and off days sit in the grid.

Second example: 20 minus 30 times 7 over 60 is 1.2 below. Third: 90 minus 30 times 7 over 60 is 7 above.

The calculator does not block apps and does not read the phone. A comma in 12.5 is read the same way as a period.

Formula

Result = (minutes − limit) × 7 ÷ 60. At 45 and 30: (45 − 30) × 7 ÷ 60 = 1.75, so 1.8 hours above.

What these numbers mean

45 minus 30 times 7 over 60 is 1.8 hours above.

minutes and limit
Daily minutes minus the limit, then times 7 over 60. In the first example that is 45 and 30.
checks and evening
They sit in the grid. Here 20 checks and 15 minutes after 22:00 do not change the main result.
off days and apps
They sit in the grid. The app count is optional and does not change the main result.

How to use

  1. Enter 45 minutes.
  2. Add a limit of 30 and 20 checks, plus 15 minutes after 22:00 and 2 off days.
  3. Click Calculate. The result is 1.8 hours above.
  4. Second example: 20, 30, 8, 0 and 4 is 1.2 hours below. Third: 90, 30, 40, 40 and 0 is 7 hours above.
  5. You can skip the app count. When you fill it, it appears in the grid and does not change the main result.
