How often can you actually post?
Your worst normal week
Not your best week. The one with the deadline, the trip and the edit that fought back.
No long cuts and 3 shorts a week, every week, including the bad ones.
That uses 2.7 of your 6 hours and leaves 3.3 spare, which is the slack that absorbs a week going wrong. Bank 3 finished videos before you raise it.

About this calculator
Why does it ask about my worst week rather than a normal one?
Because a cadence sized against a good week breaks the first time a normal week happens, and the break is what costs you. A channel that publishes once a week for a year beats one that publishes four times a week for six weeks and then stops.
Why is the edit time charged higher than I entered?
Because a published video is not just an edit. The thumbnail, description, filing to a playlist and scheduling are charged as a fixed overhead on top: thirty minutes for a long cut, roughly nine minutes for a short. That overhead is the part people forget, and it is why cadences that looked fine on paper do not survive.
Where do my numbers go?
They stay in your browser. The arithmetic runs on your device, with no account and no email, and the page keeps working if you disconnect from the internet.
It says I can only publish one video a week. Is that bad?
No. One a week, every week, without stopping, puts you ahead of most channels. The number matters far less than the fact that it never changes.
How do I actually keep to it?
Bank a buffer before you need one, schedule every video the moment it is finished rather than on the day it is due, and make the empty days visible. Runsheet does the last two, on the free plan too.
Now make the week look like that.
Runsheet turns a cadence into four weeks of visible slots, publishes to YouTube with the thumbnail and playlist attached, and shows you the gaps before they happen.
The demo needs no email and no credit card. You get a practice channel full of sample videos, and it is deleted after 12 hours.
