About the Drive Time Calculator

The AlarmDaddy Drive Time calculator estimates how long a journey takes from the distance and your average speed. Enter a distance in kilometres or miles and an average speed to get the travel time in hours and minutes.

It is a quick planning tool for road trips and commutes. For a rough real-world estimate, pick an average speed a little below the speed limit to allow for traffic and stops.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter the distance and choose km or miles.
  2. 2Enter your average speed.
  3. 3Read the estimated drive time in hours and minutes.

The formula

Time = distance ÷ average speed.

Dividing the distance by the average speed gives the travel time. Because real journeys include traffic, junctions and rest stops, a slightly lower average speed gives a more realistic estimate than the top speed.
