How to use this calculator
Enter the goal and hours completed, gross session minutes, break allowance and activity weights. Dated overrides can replace or cancel a session.
An override replaces weekly availability and exclusions. Breaks reduce each gross session to zero at minimum. Weighted activity shares divide only actual practice time, including a partial last session.
A worked example
With six practice hours remaining, the example Monday, Wednesday and Saturday sessions, minus five-minute breaks, reach the goal on November 14, 2026.
Does reaching the time goal imply proficiency?
No. This is a time-accounting plan. Practice quality, feedback and skill development are not measured.
Which calendar and years are supported?
Use Gregorian dates from 1900 through 2100, with results in that range. Daily plans allow up to 366 dates; dark-sky searches allow 31 nights. Durations, capacities and policy rules are supplied by you. Astronomy uses the bundled Astronomy Engine, sea-level geometry and browser time-zone rules. Timed exports use UTC instants; date-only events do not assign a clock time. Copy, CSV and print include calculation assumptions. Nothing is booked or scheduled outside this page.
What happens to my dates?
Calculations run on your device. Saving a calculation is optional and keeps it in this browser. A setup link contains the dates and settings you entered; anyone with the link can read them. Use one tab per saved calculator. Clear saved data from Privacy & settings.
