Target Hours Progress Calculator

How to calculate your target timeline?

Projections are linear based on a consistent daily average. This assumes your daily progress remains stable over the duration of your project or study plan.

Formula: (Target Hours - Current Hours) / Daily Hours = Days Needed

Using the calculator: a study example

Example: A certification requiring 200 hours where you have completed 50 hours.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. Subtract completed hours from target (150 hours left)
2. Divide by your daily study rate (e.g., 3 hours/day)
3. Determine your finish date (50 days away)
