FutureMe BACK TO FUTUREME

METHODOLOGY & TRUST

CLEAR MATH. HONEST LIMITS.

FutureMe is designed to help you notice patterns and choose your next move. We distinguish simple calculations from illustrative scenarios and never present either as a prediction about your life.

HOW THE SCREEN-TIME ESTIMATE WORKS

Remaining illustrative waking-life years spent on recreational screens

daily recreational screen hours × 365.25 × (80 − current age)

16 waking hours/day × 365.25

This simplifies to daily recreational screen hours ÷ 16 × remaining illustrative years. For reduction scenarios, we calculate the same formula using the hours you choose to reduce, capped at your stated screen time.

STATED ASSUMPTIONS

Illustrative age

80 years

The screen-time calculator uses age 80 solely as a transparent comparison point. It is not a prediction about your lifespan.

Waking time

16 hours / day

We convert time into waking-life years using 16 waking hours per day so the result is easier to understand than a total-hours figure.

Days per year

365.25

The calculation uses the average number of days in a calendar year.

WHAT FUTUREME DOES NOT DO

It does not predict your future.

  • FutureMe does not predict lifespan, disease, health outcomes, or mental-health outcomes.
  • FutureMe does not predict wealth, investment returns, debt payoff, career success, or legal outcomes.
  • Relationship, goal, sleep, activity, and career views are illustrative motivational scenarios—not facts or forecasts.
  • FutureMe does not provide diagnosis, treatment, financial planning, investment, legal guidance, or individualized professional advice.
