Free Weekly Study Hours Calculator Online
Estimate a realistic weekly independent-study target, distribute it across subjects, and check the plan against classes and other commitments.
Runs entirely in your browser · No login · No student data uploadedThe Weekly Study Hours Calculator helps students and academic support teams turn a course list into a practical weekly time target. Add each subject, its credit value, and a simple difficulty rating. The calculator applies the selected independent-study ratio, gives demanding subjects a modest weighting, and shows how the recommendation fits beside contact hours, paid work, sleep, and other fixed commitments. The result includes total study hours, total academic workload, a daily target, spare weekly capacity, and a subject-by-subject allocation. It is a planning aid rather than an institutional rule: assessment deadlines, accessibility needs, learning pace, course design, and local credit policies may require a different plan.

What Students and Academic Teams Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"The capacity check makes workload conversations more concrete. Students can see where their week goes before agreeing to an unrealistic plan."
"Difficulty weighting gives us a better starting point than assigning identical hours to every subject, while still keeping the recommendation easy to explain."
"I use the per-day target and subject breakdown during weekly planning sessions. The downloadable report is concise and genuinely useful."
