What is this calculator?
A short commute never feels like much until you add up the years. This calculator takes your one-way journey time and the days you travel each week, then shows the hours you spend commuting weekly, yearly and in total between now and retirement, expressed in both hours and whole 24-hour days.
How does it work?
One-way minutes are doubled for the return trip and multiplied by your commuting days for the weekly total, then scaled across 52.18 weeks a year and the years left until retirement. The transport type you pick is context only and does not change the maths.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as commuting time?+
Door to door: walking to the car or station, waiting, travelling and the final walk to your desk.
Does the transport type change the result?+
No. It is there for context only, so you can label the result. The maths depends purely on the minutes you enter.
Why does it stop at retirement age?+
Most people stop commuting when they retire, so the total is capped at the years of work you have left.
What if I work hybrid?+
Set commute days per week to the number of days you actually travel in, such as two or three.
What is the 24-hour day figure?+
It converts the total hours into whole days so you can picture the time as a block rather than a long list of hours.
