Formula and method

Divide distance by average speed. A journey of 150 miles at an average 60 miles per hour takes 2.5 hours, or 2 hours 30 minutes, before any extra stops.

Travel time = distance ÷ average speed

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Distance
150 mi
Speed
60 mph
Time
2.5 hrs

Assumptions and limitations

  • Use the average speed you expect over the whole moving journey. A posted speed limit may overstate that average. Add rest stops and other delays separately.
  • Use the units shown beside each field. This model assumes the stated relationship and does not account for quantities left out of the formula.

Common questions

Should I enter the speed limit?

Use the average speed you expect over the whole moving journey. A posted speed limit may overstate that average. Add rest stops and other delays separately.
