THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Working-day offsets exclude holidays by construction. Jobs stay in entered order; measured speed includes all required editing steps.
Start with your inputs
Enter images to edit by queued job, measured editing speed (images/hour), editing hours available per workday, deadlines in working days from now. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Images to edit by queued job | 100,200 |
| Measured editing speed (images/hour) | 50 |
| Editing hours available per workday | 4 |
| Deadlines in working days from now | 1,2 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, job editing hours is 2, 4. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Job editing hours | 2, 4 |
| Cumulative completion workdays | 0.5, 1.5 |
| Deadline overruns (workdays) | 0, 0 |
How this is calculated
Job editing hours
Divide remaining images by measured editing speed.
Cumulative completion workdays
Schedule jobs in input order on one editing stream.
Deadline overruns (workdays)
Compare cumulative completion with each entered deadline.

Assumptions and limits
Working-day offsets exclude holidays by construction. Jobs stay in entered order; measured speed includes all required editing steps.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Job editing hours; Cumulative completion workdays; Deadline overruns (workdays). The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Working-day offsets exclude holidays by construction. Jobs stay in entered order; measured speed includes all required editing steps.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
