Pomodoro and focus session calculator
Focused work in fixed blocks with breaks is a scheduling problem: the breaks are most of what makes the day longer than the work.

- Focus block = 25
- Short break = 5
- Long break = 20
- Blocks before a long break = 4
- Focused hours wanted = 5
- Focus blocks = ceil(5 * 60 / 25) = 12
- Long breaks = floor(12 / 4) = 3
- Short breaks = max(12 - 1 - 3, 0) = 8
- Minutes of breaks = 8 * 5 + 3 * 20 = 100
- Minutes of focused work = 12 * 25 = 300
- total_minutes = 300 + 100 = 400
- Total elapsed time = 400 * 60 = 24 000
- Share of the day spent focused = 400 > 0 ? 300/400*100 : 0 = 75
- Length of one full cycle = 4 * (25 + 5) + 20 - 5 = 135
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.
