What is this calculator?

Weekends feel short, but stacked together they are substantial. This calculator counts the weekends you have already lived, the weekend days those add up to and what percentage of your whole life they represent. It also shows how many weekends you have left, which tends to be the number people remember long after closing the page.

How does it work?

Each year contains 52.18 weeks, so weekends lived are your age multiplied by that figure, and weekend days are double it. Because Saturday and Sunday are two of seven days, the weekend share of any life is about 28.6%. Remaining weekends use the years between your age and your expected lifespan.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the percentage always about 28.6%?+

Saturday and Sunday are two of the seven days in a week, and that ratio never changes, so the weekend share of any life is the same.

How many weekends have I lived?+

Roughly your age multiplied by 52.18, the average number of weeks in a year once leap years are included.

What if my weekend is not Saturday and Sunday?+

The maths works for any two rest days a week, whichever days those actually are for you.

Why does the remaining figure feel small?+

Because it is. Counting weekends rather than years is exactly why this calculator tends to stick with people.

Is the lifespan a prediction?+

No. It is just the number you type in, used to scale the results. Change it to see any scenario you like.
