How this calculator works

Weekly screen time = weekday minutes x 5 + weekend minutes x 2. Average daily screen time = weekly screen time / 7. Difference from target = average daily screen time - target daily minutes.
Average daily screen time = (weekday minutes x 5 + weekend minutes x 2) / 7. Minutes vs target = average daily minutes - target daily minutes.
