Browsing Time Calculator: how many hours do your sites take each year?
See how a typical day is spent across sites, then roll it up to the year. Estimate from your inputs only.

How this is calculated
Every number on this page comes from the fields you fill in. There is no average user, no industry benchmark, and no lookup of your history.
- Add the minutes per day across the site rows.
- Weekly hours = minutes per day × days per week ÷ 60. Yearly hours = minutes per day × days per year ÷ 60. Monthly hours = yearly hours ÷ 12, spread across a calendar year, not a 4-week month.
- The donut is each site's share of the minutes you entered. The 24-hour strip places those minutes on a 1,440-minute day and fills the rest in grey. If the minutes add up to more than a day, the totals stay exact and the strip scales the browsing segments to fill the bar.
- Hours on the rollup follow the same rounding as the share line: 100 hours or more round to the nearest hour, 10 or more keep one decimal, and smaller values keep up to two.
The sample rows start at 105 minutes per day, 5 days per week, and 230 days per year. That is 8.75 hours a week, about 33.5 hours a month, and about 403 hours a year. Replace the rows with your own guess.
To record real time per site, use SiteKeeper time tracking. To cap a site, see website limits.
Frequently asked questions
How is the browsing time calculated?
The calculator adds the minutes you enter for each site. Weekly hours equal those minutes times the days per week you enter, divided by 60. Yearly hours equal those minutes times the days per year you enter, divided by 60. Monthly hours are the yearly hours divided by 12. None of these steps use browsing data or a published average.
Does this read my browser history?
No. The site names and minutes are whatever you type. The sample rows start at 105 minutes per day (youtube.com 45, reddit.com 25, x.com 20, news 15), 5 days per week, and 230 days per year so the chart is not blank. This page does not read your browser history.
Why is the default 230 days?
230 is a round planning figure: 52 weeks times 5 weekdays is 260, minus about 30 days for holidays and leave. It is not an official average for a country or a job. Change days per week and days per year if your schedule is different. With the sample 105 minutes per day, 5 days per week, and 230 days per year, the rollup is 8.75 hours a week, about 33.5 hours a month, and about 403 hours a year.
What if the minutes add up to more than 24 hours?
The week, month, and year totals still use the minutes you typed. The day strip draws browsing up to one full day (1,440 minutes). If the total is higher, the strip fills the whole day with each site's share of that total and drops the rest-of-day segment. The donut shows each site's share of the minutes you entered, not a share of 24 hours.
Are the numbers I type sent to SiteKeeper?
No. The math runs in your browser on this page, and the inputs are not submitted to SiteKeeper. SiteKeeper never sells or shares your data.
How do I measure real time instead of guessing?
SiteKeeper is a free Chrome extension that records time on the sites you visit and can block a site when you hit a limit you set. That measurement is separate from this calculator. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, then compare those minutes with the guess you typed here.
