How the calculation works

Daily average = remaining words ÷ days available. Days available must be positive and are entered by you. The result is an average, so plan whole-item allocations and the final remainder separately when needed. The model does not assess error density, revisions, fact checking, specialist review or the number of editing passes. Numeric results use up to six decimals, with scientific notation for tiny nonzero values. Fractional averages and capacity are equivalents; allocate whole items and remainders separately when appropriate. Entered decimal arithmetic is applied before display rounding. Numeric inputs/results and durations in seconds are bounded by magnitude 9,007,199,254,740,991.

Example

Proofreading Job example: 2000 words ÷ 5 entered days = 400 words per day on average.
