How to use this calculator

  • Enter total assigned pages.
  • Enter pages already completed.
  • Enter days remaining before the deadline.
  • Enter average minutes per page.

What the result means

The result shows the daily page target and the daily reading time required to finish on schedule.

Remaining Pages = Total Pages − Pages Completed. Daily Pages = Remaining Pages ÷ Days Remaining. Daily Time = Daily Pages × Minutes Per Page.

Reading difficulty can change actual time, so use conservative minutes per page for dense material.

Example calculation

With 300 pages, 150 completed, 10 days left, and 2 minutes per page, the target is 15 pages per day.

Tips for better results

  • Read difficult chapters earlier.
  • Keep one buffer day before the deadline.
  • Use page targets rather than vague time goals.
