How is this calculated?
Your average daily screen time is multiplied by your remaining life expectancy (in years) to estimate the total time you'll spend looking at screens going forward. Assuming 8 hours of sleep per day, we also show what share of your waking hours (16 hours) is taken up by screen time.
Why does digital wellbeing matter?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this result accurate?
No β this calculator simply multiplies the average values you enter, so it's an estimate. In reality, your screen habits and life expectancy will likely change over time, so please treat this as a reference only.
What value should I enter for life expectancy?
You can generally use the average life expectancy for your country (for example, around 79 in the US) as a reference, or enter any other value you'd like.
