Study Time Planner
Plan how many hours a day you need to study to cover your total revision hours before an exam or assessment deadline.
Your results
Calculation breakdown
- Hours per day
- total hours ÷ (total days − days off)
Worked example
Needing 40 hours of revision over 14 days with 2 days off leaves 12 study days: 40 ÷ 12 = 3.3 hours per day.
Assumptions
- Spreads the workload evenly; doesn't account for varying difficulty across topics or days.
How this calculator works
Enter your total study hours needed, the number of days available and any days you plan to take off, and this calculator spreads the workload evenly across your remaining study days.
Frequently asked questions
What if I have zero study days left?
The calculator shows an error since it can't schedule hours across zero available days — increase your day count or reduce days off.
Does this include weekends?
It treats every day the same; use the 'days off' field to exclude weekends or other unavailable days from the total.
Can I plan for multiple subjects at once?
Add up the total study hours needed across all subjects and enter that combined figure for an overall daily target.
