How the Calculators Work
All our tools are based on a simple, universal formula to **calculate video time with playback speed**:
Adjusted Duration = Original Duration ÷ Playback Speed
Time Saved = Original Duration – Adjusted Duration
For example, a **12-hour audiobook at 1.5 speed** takes only 8 hours, saving you 4 hours instantly.
