Example

Example: 90 minutes a day, every day of the week, is 10.5 hours per week and about 546 hours in a year. That is roughly 22.8 full days, or about 13.7 forty-hour work weeks spent in that app.

Over five years at the same pace, that becomes about 114 full days. The calculator above lets you change the minutes and the time horizon.

Questions

How does the Screen Time cost calculator work?

It multiplies the minutes you enter by the days per week and the number of years you choose. The result is hours and full 24-hour days. Nothing is stored on a server.

Where do I find my real Screen Time minutes?

On iPhone, open Settings → Screen Time. Pick an app or category and use the daily average shown there.

Does this calculator send my numbers anywhere?

No. The math runs in your browser. brb itself keeps step data on the device.
