Sitting Break Calculator

What This Calculator Estimates

The calculator divides your sitting window by the chosen interval, then multiplies breaks by break length. It is a practical schedule helper, not a medical risk score.

PlanTotal break time in 8 hours
5 minutes every 60 minutesAbout 40 minutes
3 minutes every 30 minutesAbout 48 minutes
10 minutes every 90 minutesAbout 50 minutes

Use a realistic interval. A small break that actually happens is usually more useful than an ambitious break plan that never starts.
