When to use it

For a group of similar image-design tasks. Use your own recorded minutes per image and per revision round. Split dissimilar work into separate estimates; the sample times are not industry standards.

Inputs

Inputs Default
Original 30
Completed images 10
Additional images 10
First-draft time per image (min) 45
Rounds 1
Revision time per image per round (min) 20
Days left 3
Available time per day (h) 8

Calculation method

Remaining items = planned − completed + added. Multiply this count by first-draft time plus revision rounds × revision time. Divide total time by remaining days, round upward in steps of one minute, then display hours. Subtract daily available time to obtain the gap. Days are a count of workdays, not an extra time factor.

(30 [Original] - 10 [Completed images]) + 10 [Additional images] → Remaining images

Remaining images × (45 [First-draft time per image min] + 1 [Rounds] × 20 [Revision time per image per round min]) → Total effort h

ceil(Total effort h/3 [Days left]/1 min) × 1 min → Effort/day h

Effort/day h - 8 [Available time per day h] → Gap/day h

Change one input

Remove the 10 additional images. Daily work falls from 10 h 50 min to 7 h 14 min; against 8 available hours this changes a 2 h 50 min shortfall into 46 min spare. Decimal hours in the table are rounded for display only.

Result Default Changed
Remaining images 30 20
Total effort (h) 32.5 21.67
Effort/day (h) 10.83 7.23
Gap/day (h) 2.83 -0.77

Results are displayed to at most two decimal places; later formulas use unrounded values.

Scope and limits

  • Daily effort rounds up to a whole minute; later formulas use exact values.
  • Positive gap means insufficient time; negative means spare time.
  • Whole counts/rounds ≥ 0; days > 0; completed ≤ original + additional.

Draft and revision times must be nonnegative. Available time excludes meetings, waiting and other projects. One revision time means minutes per image per round. The calculation distributes work evenly and does not model dependencies, fatigue or feedback delays; it does not guarantee a deadline or assume that adding people divides duration proportionally.
