Reading Assignment Time Estimator
Estimate how long a reading assignment will really take so you can plan your study time instead of guessing. Reading speed varies with the material, since a dense textbook chapter slows you far more than a light novel, and this tool lets you pick a difficulty that adjusts the pace accordingly. Enter the number of pages and the typical words per page, or switch to a direct word count, choose easy, medium or hard material, and set your reading speed in words per minute if you know it. The tool multiplies through to give an estimate in hours and minutes. Everything runs in your browser with no data leaving your device. Use it to block out study sessions before a deadline, to decide whether a long assignment fits in one sitting, or to check whether your weekly reading load is realistic.
How to use Reading Assignment Time Estimator

Frequently asked questions
How does it estimate reading time?
It divides the word count, or an estimated word count from your pages, by your reading speed in words per minute, then adjusts for difficulty.
How does difficulty affect the estimate?
Harder material slows effective reading speed, so a higher difficulty setting lengthens the estimated time.
What if I only know the page count?
You can enter pages and the tool estimates words per page to work out the time.
