How to Use This Calculator
Decide your timeframe
Set how many days you will be home (staycation, remote work stretch, or quarantine).
Estimate your pace
Enter daily reading minutes and pages per hour to reflect your focus level.
Compare with your backlog
See how many books you can realistically finish and whether you need more TBR titles.
Formula
Pages per Day = Minutes per Day / 60 * Pages per Hour
Books Possible = (Pages per Day * Days) / Average Pages per Book
Days per Book = Average Pages / Pages per Day
Example: 90 min/day * 40 pp/h = 60 pages/day -> 1800 total pages -> 5.6 book(s).

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I read slower?

Can I include audiobooks?
Convert listening hours to equivalent pages (for example, 1 hr audio = 45 pages) to keep the math consistent.
How do I track ongoing progress?
Reduce the backlog number as you finish books and adjust daily minutes for more or less reading energy.
Does this work for comics or nonfiction?
Yes — swap average pages and reading speed to match genre specifics (for example, graphic novels at 120 pp/h).
