Travel time calculator

Estimate driving time from distance and average speed. This is not live traffic.

What the result means

Time = distance ÷ speed. Average speed is lower than the speed limit once you include towns, lights and stops.

How it is calculated

Hours = km ÷ km/h
  • Average speed: What you actually expect to average, not the posted limit.

Minutes are the fractional hour converted × 60.

Assumptions

  • Estimates only — not tax, legal, credit or financial advice. Check the official source or your contract before relying on a figure.
  • Constant speed, no breaks.

Worked example

180 km at 90 km/h

A highway leg.

Time
180 ÷ 90 = 2 hours

If you only average 75 km/h, the same leg is 2 hours 24 minutes.

Not a maps ETA

Live traffic, roadworks and rest breaks are omitted. Pair with the fuel calculator for litres and cost on the same distance.

On Australian highways a realistic average is often 10–20 km/h below the posted limit once towns, roadworks and fuel stops are in. Fatigue guidance is a safety matter: add rest breaks on top of this number rather than pretending the arithmetic includes them.

Questions

Can I enter miles?

Convert with the length calculator first. This page is kilometres and km/h.

Does this include rest stops?

No. It is distance divided by average speed. Add meal and fatigue breaks separately, especially on a drive longer than two hours.
