Work out how long a road journey will take and when you will arrive. Enter the distance and your expected average speed, then optionally your departure time and rest stops. The calculator shows the driving time, the total time with rests, your arrival time, and the average speed you would need to arrive by a time you choose.
You supply every figure. This tool does not suggest a distance, route or speed.
Use the distance from your own map or route and an average speed you expect to keep, including slow sections. This tool does not suggest a distance or a speed.
Nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere. Results are calculated from the numbers you enter.
How to use the journey time calculator
- Enter the distance in km from your own map or route.
- Enter the average speed you expect to keep over the whole drive, including slow sections.
- Optionally enter your departure time to see your arrival time.
- Optionally enter the number of rest stops and the minutes for each.
- To find the speed needed, enter the time you want to arrive by. It is counted within 24 hours of leaving.
- Press “Plan my journey”.
How the results are worked out
- Driving time = distance ÷ average speed, in hours
- Total journey time = driving time + (rest stops × minutes per stop)
- Arrival time = departure time + total journey time
- Speed needed = distance ÷ (time available − rest time), in hours
What this calculator does not include
- Traffic, roadworks, weather, tolls, border or checkpoint delays, and fuel stops other than the rests you enter.
- The speed limit on any road. A speed needed to arrive on time may be above the limit, so check the limits yourself and drive within them.
- Any distance or route between places. We have not verified such figures for this page, so it shows none.

Journey time calculator FAQs
How do I calculate travel time?
Divide the distance by your average speed. For example, 120 km at an average of 60 km/h takes 2 hours. The calculator does this for you and adds any rest stops.
What average speed should I use?
Use a speed you expect to keep over the whole journey, including slow sections and traffic. It will be lower than the speed you reach on open road. We do not suggest a value.
Does it handle journeys that cross midnight?
Yes. If the arrival time passes midnight, the result says the next day.
Is my data stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser, and nothing you enter is sent to our servers.
