What this does

A backlog completion calculator adds up the hours for every game in your backlog and divides by your weekly play time to see how long it takes to clear.

How to use it

  1. List each game and its hours.
  2. Enter your weekly play time.
  3. Read the weeks and months to clear.
  4. See the non-stop play-days figure.

How it works

The non-stop play-days figure expresses the total as continuous 24-hour days — a fun reference, not a real schedule.

weeks = total hours ÷ hours per week

Understanding your result

The weeks-to-clear figure is a reality check on a growing pile: at your real weekly play time, a large backlog can take years, which is worth knowing before buying more. The non-stop play-days number is a fun reference, not a schedule, so use the weeks figure to decide what to prioritise or let go rather than feeling you must finish everything.

Example

200 hours at 10 hours a week clears in about 20 weeks.
