YouTube Playlist Length Calculator — Total Duration at Any Speed

    Find out how long any YouTube playlist is — total time, time at 1.25x–2x, and days to finish. Free, no signup.

    Calculate YouTube Playlist Length

    Paste any public playlist link to see its total duration, time at every playback speed, and how long it takes to finish.

    Works with playlist links and video links that include “list=”. Up to 500 videos.

    Complete Guide to YouTube Playlist Length Calculator

    A YouTube playlist length calculator adds up the duration of every video in a playlist so you know how long it takes to watch. Paste any public playlist link to see the total length, the average video length, watch time at 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, and 2x, and how many days it takes at your daily pace. You can also calculate a range, such as videos 10 to 25 of a course.

    Before you start a 120-video course or a music marathon, it helps to know what you are signing up for. YouTube does not show a playlist's total length, so this calculator adds up every video for you and shows how much faster speeds save.

    How to find the length of a YouTube playlist

    Open the playlist, copy the link from the address bar (it contains "list="), and paste it above. A link to any video played from within the playlist works too.

    The calculator fetches each video's duration, skips private or deleted entries, and shows the total, average video length, and a speed table.

    Playlist duration at 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2x

    Lectures, tutorials, and podcasts are easy to follow at 1.25x–1.5x, and many learners use 2x for review. Watch time is simply the total length divided by the speed — a 6-hour course becomes 4 hours at 1.5x.

    Plan a course or binge

    Use the video range to measure just the part you have left, then enter how many minutes you watch per day to see how many days it will take. It is a simple way to set a realistic finish date for online courses.
