Track your listening progress
The Audiobook Progress Calculator helps listeners track how much of an audiobook they’ve completed, how much time is remaining, and how close they are to finishing. It works across platforms like Audible, Spotify, Apple Books, Kobo, and Libby—no app or login required.
Whether you listen casually or follow a daily audiobook goal, this tool gives instant progress insights using time, percentage, chapters, and playback speed.
Accuracy note: Results are highly accurate when listened time and playback speed are entered correctly. Pauses, skips, or rewinds are not included unless you manually account for them.
Here’s the math behind the Audiobook Progress Calculator:
If using word count:
Estimated Duration (mins) = Word Count ÷ Words per Minute
| Total Duration | Listened | Speed | Percent Complete | Time Remaining |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10h 00m | 2h 30m | 1.25x | 25% | 6h 00m |
| 8h 30m | 4h 15m | 1x | 50% | 4h 15m |
| 5h 00m | 1h 00m | 1.5x | 20% | 2h 40m |
Audiobook progress represents how much of an audiobook you’ve listened to compared to its total duration. Progress can be measured in percentage completed, hours listened, chapters finished, or remaining listening time, depending on how you track your audiobook activity.
