Binge Watching Calculator
Calculate how long it will take to finish a TV series based on episode count, episode length, and daily viewing time.
Formula
Total hours = episodes × length ÷ 60; Days = total hours ÷ hours per day
- Does not account for intro/outro skip.
- 1 hour of daily viewing = 365 hours/year.
62 episodes × 45 min, 2 hrs/day
Inputs

- Episode Length: 45 min
- Watching Per Day: 2 hrs/day
Total = 62×45/60 = 46.5 hrs. At 2 hrs/day = 23.25 days.
