Compare the same scope
Use the same apps and categories for both plans. Work, navigation and essential communication may need different rules from recreational browsing.

3 hours 30 minutes less per week
A plan of 90 minutes on each weekday and 120 on each weekend day allows 690 minutes per week. A 60/90 plan allows 480. The difference is 210 minutes, or 3 hours 30 minutes.
How can two different plans both allow seven hours?
Cut a visit or cut its length?
Skipping two visits and trimming the rest are different decisions. Try the same daily pattern both ways before you set a weekly allowance.

A limit is not a usage record
If you use less than your allowance, your actual screen time is lower. This tool compares permitted minutes, not observed behaviour.
Try a realistic plan and review it
Choose limits you can evaluate against your own routine. There is no universal healthy screen-time number calculated here.
Time Debt: Screen Time
Put a deliberate limit around the apps you choose
Time Debt supports weekday and weekend allowances for selected apps. When you choose to borrow extra time, it shows the effect on tomorrow before confirmation and repays it automatically within your settings.
Explore Time Debt on the App Store ↗One core plan is free; optional Pro adds features. This browser comparison does not read your usage, block apps, model borrowing or sync settings. A smaller budget is not proof of time actually saved.

Questions before you continue
Does this calculate annual time saved?
No. It shows one seven-day budget. Multiplying it into years would not demonstrate a real change in behaviour.
What if the proposed plan is larger?
The result clearly says more minutes rather than calling it a saving.
Does this include Time Debt borrowing?
No. Borrowing and repayment are separate app behaviours. This tool compares base weekday and weekend allowances only.
