Calculate pages to read per day, reading days needed, or a finish date from pages remaining, your reading schedule, and optional minutes per page.

Required: pages remaining and number of reading days available.

Use the unread pages, not the book’s original page count.

Only selected reading days count toward the plan.

Adds estimated daily and total reading time without changing the page target.

Result

Whole-page daily targets are rounded up so the plan finishes on time. Finish dates assume the selected schedule and count the start date when it is a reading day.

Pages Per Day Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Pages Per Day.

PPD = (B * P) / 365

Variables:

  • PPD is the pages per day (pages/day)
  • B is the total number of books read 
  • P is the average book length (pages) 

To calculate the pages per day (assuming the books are read over one year), divide the total pages (B × P) by 365.

How to Calculate Pages Per Day?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Pages Per Day.

  1. First, determine the total number of books read. 
  2. Next, determine the average book length (pages). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = PPD = (#B * #P) / 365.
  4. Finally, calculate the Pages Per Day.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

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

total number of books read = 10

average book length (pages) = 250

PPD = (#B * #P) / 365 = ?

PPD = (10 × 250) / 365 = 2500 / 365 ≈ 6.85 pages/day
