Work out event timeline planner instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Total run time is segments times their length plus changeovers between them, which is one fewer than the number of segments, and the finish time wraps into a 24 hour clock. Changeovers are where event schedules quietly overrun, since six segments with five minute gaps adds nearly half an hour that nobody has allocated.
Run time
minutes = segments x segment length + (segments - 1) x changeover
minutes = segments x segment length + (segments - 1) x changeover. Total run time is segments times their length plus changeovers between them, which is one fewer than the number of segments, and the finish time wraps into a 24 hour clock.
Changeovers are where event schedules quietly overrun, since six segments with five minute gaps adds nearly half an hour that nobody has allocated.
Enter start time as a decimal hour, number of segments, minutes per segment, changeover between segments. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
