How the Binge Watch Time formula works

Total time, then divided across a daily viewing budget:

Total hours = (Episodes × Minutes per episode) / 60
Days to finish = Total hours / Hours watched per day

Step-by-step calculation

  1. Multiply the number of episodes by the average episode length in minutes.
  2. Divide by 60 to convert to total hours.
  3. Divide total hours by your planned daily watch time to estimate days to finish.

Worked example

A series with 62 episodes averaging 45 minutes each: Total = 62 × 45 = 2,790 minutes = 46.5 hours. At 2 hours/day, that's 46.5/2 ≈ 23.3 days to finish.

Frequently asked questions

Does this account for credits or recaps at the start of episodes?

No — use the show's actual average runtime (excluding or including credits, your choice) for the most accurate total; streaming platforms often list this directly.
