Flight Time & Distance Calculator — free online calculator.
Formula
- Assumes distance and speed use compatible units, taxi/takeoff/landing time is in minutes, and fuel burn rate is per hour. Actual flight time and fuel consumption vary.
- The main inputs are Flight Distance, Cruise Speed, Taxi + Takeoff + Landing Time, Fuel Burn Rate. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Flight Time & Distance
- Flight Distance: 1800
- Cruise Speed: 800
- Taxi + Takeoff + Landing Time: 30
- Fuel Burn Rate: 2500
1,800 km / 800 km/h = 2.25 cruise hours; plus 30 minutes gives 2.75 hours gate-to-gate; at 2,500 fuel units/hour, cruise fuel is 5,625 units.

Which values should I enter?
Enter Flight Distance, Cruise Speed, Taxi + Takeoff + Landing Time, Fuel Burn Rate using the units and format shown beside each field.
What formula does this calculator use?
The calculator uses the following relationship: Cruise hours = distance / cruise speed; gate-to-gate hours = cruise hours + ground/takeoff/landing minutes / 60; cruise fuel = cruise hours × fuel burn per hour..
Why might my result differ from another source?
Results can differ when another source uses different units, rounding rules, conventions or assumptions. Compare the inputs and definitions before comparing results.
Does the result update automatically?
Yes. Changing an input updates the result using the same calculation engine shown on this page.
