Frequently asked questions

How does the estimate work?

It combines your task estimates and any buffer you add into a realistic total, helping you quote timelines and deadlines with more confidence.

Why add a buffer or contingency?

Real projects hit revisions, feedback delays and surprises. A buffer turns an optimistic best-case number into a timeline you can actually commit to.

Should I estimate in hours or days?

Whatever matches how you plan and bill. Keep the unit consistent across tasks so the total stays meaningful.

Is my data stored?

No. The estimate is calculated in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
