How the Travel Time Calculator Works
This trip time calculator performs calendar-aware time arithmetic. If your question is "what time should I leave?", choose Leave time. If you know when you leave and need the arrival time, choose Arrival time.
Calculate When to Leave
Start with the date and time you need to arrive, then subtract the full trip duration and extra buffer.
Use It as a Journey Time Calculator
Enter a route duration from a map, timetable, or itinerary. The tool handles the final arrival or leave-time calculation.
Use It as a Departure and Arrival Time Calculator
Switch between the two modes to calculate either side of the trip: the arrival time after departure or the leave time before arrival.
Keep Live Conditions Separate
The tool does not predict traffic, weather, delays, or missed connections. Update the duration when conditions change.

Use This Page for General Trip Duration Math
Choose this travel time calculator for drives, trains, walks, transfers, appointments, or any non-flight trip where the main question is when you will arrive or what time you should leave.
Use the Airport Calculator for Flight Buffers
If airport security, bag drop, parking, terminal walking, boarding cutoffs, or station buffer defaults matter, use the airport departure time calculator instead.

Travel Time Calculator FAQ
How do I calculate my arrival time?
Add the trip duration and any planned stop or buffer time to your departure date and time. Choose Arrival time in the calculator to do this automatically.
How do I calculate what time to leave?
Subtract the trip duration and planned buffer from the date and time when you need to arrive. Choose Leave time to work backward.
What time should I leave?
Choose Leave time, enter the date and time you need to arrive, then add your trip duration and any extra buffer. The result shows the suggested leave time.
Can I use this as a departure and arrival time calculator?
Yes. Use Arrival time when you know your departure time, or use Leave time when you know the arrival time you need to hit.
Does this calculator use live traffic?
No. Enter a current route duration from your preferred map or transit service, then add extra time for stops and uncertainty.
Is this the same as an airport arrival calculator?
No. This page handles general trip duration math. For airport security, bag drop, parking, terminal walking, or boarding buffers, use the airport departure time calculator.
Can the calculator handle an overnight trip?
Yes. It uses both the date and time, so results can move into the next day or the previous day.
