Enter the number of periods or halves and their duration, along with the total break time into the calculator to determine the Game Time.

Game Time Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Game Time.

GT = (P * T) + B

Variables:

  • GT is the total Game Time (minutes)
  • P is the number of periods or halves in the game
  • T is the duration of each period or half (minutes)
  • B is the total break time between periods or halves (minutes)

To calculate the Game Time, multiply the number of periods or halves in the game by the duration of each period or half. Then, add the total break time between periods or halves. The result is the total Game Time.

What is Game Time?

Game Time refers to the duration or period during which a game is played. It can be a scheduled start time for a sports match or the actual time spent playing a video game. In sports, game time is often regulated and divided into periods or halves, with breaks in between. In video games, game time can be tracked to limit usage or to determine progress or achievements. It can also refer to a critical or decisive moment in a game or competition.

How to Calculate Game Time?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Game Time using the given formula:


  1. First, determine the number of periods or halves in the game (P).
  2. Next, determine the duration of each period or half (T) in minutes.
  3. Next, determine the total break time between periods or halves (B) in minutes.
  4. Use the formula GT = (P * T) + B to calculate the total Game Time.
  5. After inserting the values of P, T, and B into the formula, calculate the result.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:

Number of periods or halves (P) = 4

Duration of each period or half (T) = 15 minutes

Total break time between periods or halves (B) = 5 minutes
