How to use this calculator
Enter total pages and pages already read. Choose a start date, reading weekdays and skipped dates. Finish-date mode uses your pages per session. Deadline mode distributes the remaining pages across eligible dates through the deadline.
One session is planned per selected date, including the start if it qualifies. Finish-date mode shortens the last session. Deadline mode balances whole pages, placing larger sessions first; zero-page dates are omitted. Page ranges never overlap. Plans are limited to ten years (3,660 days); pace is entered by you rather than estimated from a generic reading speed.
A worked example
With 300 pages total, 40 already read and 25 per session, you need eleven sessions. Reading weekdays from November 2, 2026 finishes on November 16; the final session contains ten pages.
Can I plan to finish by a book-club or school deadline?
Yes. Choose deadline mode and your available weekdays. The result shows the maximum daily target, exact page ranges and the last reading date. CSV and calendar exports keep the plan available away from this page.
