Parenting time & custody percentage calculator
Pick your regular schedule - or paint your own two weeks - then add holiday weeks and extra nights. You get the number of overnights a year at each home and each home's share of parenting time.

How it works
The regular pattern repeats across the 365 nights of the year. Holiday weeks replace that week's usual pattern, so a summer week with the other parent moves only the nights they would not have had anyway.
Some child-support guidelines use overnights per year to measure parenting time, so it is a useful number to know. This calculator does the arithmetic; it is not legal advice - always check your court order, written agreement and local rules.
In TaskFamily the same schedules drive each child's week: the right chores and reminders at the right home, handoff reminders, swap requests with approval and a shared record.
TaskFamily turns this into a routine: chores and rewards, a savings jar that pays interest, schedules for two homes and a private family chat. Free to start.
Questions parents ask
What is a 2-2-3 schedule?
The child spends two days with one parent, two with the other, then three with the first; the next week it flips. Over two weeks each parent has seven nights, so it is a 50/50 schedule with no long gaps.
How many overnights is every other weekend?
Every other weekend (Friday to Sunday, three nights) gives the second home about 78 overnights a year, roughly 21%, before holidays are added.
Does a 5-2-2-5 schedule give equal time?
Yes. Each parent has the same two weekdays every week and alternates the weekends, which adds up to 50/50 over two weeks.
