Enter the total time available in a day, and the time spent on work, job hunting, domestic chores, education, and necessary activities into the calculator to determine the amount of free time.
Free Time Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the amount of free time.
FT = T - (W + J + D + E + N)
Variables:
- FT is the amount of free time (hours)
- T is the total time available in a day (usually 24 hours)
- W is the time spent on work or business (hours)
- J is the time spent on job hunting (hours)
- D is the time spent on domestic chores (hours)
- E is the time spent on education (hours)
- N is the time spent on necessary activities such as eating and sleeping (hours)
To calculate the amount of free time, subtract the time spent on work, job hunting, domestic chores, education, and necessary activities from the total time available in a day. The result is the amount of time left for leisure activities.
What is a Free Time?
Free time, also known as leisure time, is the period of time spent away from business, work, job hunting, domestic chores, and education. It also excludes time spent on necessary activities such as eating and sleeping. During this time, a person is free to indulge in various activities that they enjoy, such as hobbies, entertainment, sports, or other personal interests. It is often a period of relaxation, enjoyment, and freedom from obligations.
How to Calculate Free Time?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Free Time using the given formula:
- First, determine the total time available in a day (T) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent on work or business (W) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent on job hunting (J) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent on domestic chores (D) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent on education (E) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent on necessary activities such as eating and sleeping (N) in hours.
- Finally, calculate the Free Time (FT) using the formula FT = T – (W + J + D + E + N).
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:
Total time available in a day (T) = 24 hours
Time spent on work or business (W) = 8 hours
Time spent on job hunting (J) = 2 hours
Time spent on domestic chores (D) = 3 hours
Time spent on education (E) = 4 hours
Time spent on necessary activities such as eating and sleeping (N) = 7 hours
