Digital detox for real people.
Most people have no idea how much of their life quietly disappears into screens. This screen time calculator shows you how many years months and days you have already spent on devices and how much you spend each year at your current pace. It is not here to judge you, it simply gives you a clear picture so you can decide what you want to change.
Enter your age, when screens became part of your life, and your average daily screen time to see how much of your life has been spent on screens.
How this screen time calculator works
You enter three datas:
Your average number of hours per day across phone laptop tablet and TV.
Your age.
The age when screens really became part of your daily life.
The calculator then estimates:
Total time you have already spent on screens since that start age
How many full days you spend on screens each year right now
How many days each month your attention belongs to your devices instead of you
This is an estimate, not a perfect medical instrument. It is designed to make the numbers real enough that you feel them.
What your results mean
The total time on screens shows you how much of your life has already been lived through a screen. Seeing it in years and months and in full days can be uncomfortable, which is exactly why it works. It turns vague feelings of I am always on my phone into simple facts.
The numbers per year and per month are where change begins. If you see that you spend several months every year on screens you can decide how many of those days you want to take back. Even a small change in your daily hours can give you whole weeks of your life over the next years.
How we calculate screen time
This tool answers a few common questions people search for such as how is screen time calculated and how does a screen time life calculator work.
It uses simple math. Your daily hours are multiplied by the number of days you have used screens since your start age. That gives a total number of hours on screens. Those hours are then converted into days months and years so the result feels human, not technical.
We do not connect to your phone settings and we do not collect any of your usage data. Everything stays in this moment, in your browser only.
How this compares to phone screen time features
Apple Screen Time and similar tools track every minute on each app. Our calculator is different. It is not a tracker, it is a big picture view.
If you already use built in screen time features you can take the average hours you see there and plug them into this calculator. That way you can see the long term impact of numbers that usually sit in a weekly report you swipe away.
Is there a perfect number of hours per day
There is no single perfect number that works for everyone. Work, study, rest, parenting and health all use screens in different ways. Instead of chasing a universal rule this calculator helps you answer a simpler question:
"Does this amount of time feel like a fair trade for the life you want to live?"
If the answer is no you can start by taking back one hour a day, then see how your mood focus and relationships respond.
