3 Ways to Find Audible Progress Percentage

Audible doesn’t have the basic feature of viewing a book’s progress on the app. It makes it hard to share the progress with your friends or update it on Goodreads.

The good news is, there are 3 ways to find and share your progress percentage.

You can calculate it using the Audiobook Percentage Calculator, view it on Amazon Firestick or Fire TV, or manually calculate it in less than a minute.

This article will guide you with all three methods in detail.

Method 1 [RECOMMENDED]: Use the Audiobook Percentage Calculator

Method 2: View Progress Percentage on Amazon Firestick/ Fire TV

Method 3: Calculate The Audible Progress Manually

Method 1: Use the Audiobook Percentage Calculator

Go to the Audiobook Percentage Calculator to find your percentage progress by providing the Time Listened and Total Time.

The Audiobook Percentage Calculator is also accessible under the Tools option in the top menu

To find the Time Listened and Total Time of an audiobook on Audible, follow these steps.

1. In the Audible Player, tap on 3 Dots Menu > Player Settings
2. Next, Select Time Listened/ Total Time option in the Mini Player Time Display section

The Audible Player’s progress bar will now show the required times.

3. Tap on the arrow sign on top left to minimize the Audible Player
4. The display bar now displays the Time Listened and Total Times for the audiobook

You can provide these values in the calculator to get the completed percentage.

In my case

Providing the above numbers in the calculator shows that i have completed the 25.64% of the audiobook while 74.36% book is remaining.

Method 2: View Progress Percentage on Amazon Firestick/ Fire TV

If you have an Amazon Firestick or Fire TV, you can view your percentage without any work. Download the Audible app and sign in to your account. You can sync your progress from any other device.

To view the progress percentage, highlight any title in your library. You can see the completed percentage in the top right corner of the title.

Method 3: Calculate The Audible Progress Manually

This method requires you to do a little math. We will need the Time Listened (or time elapsed) and Total Time of the audiobook for manual audiobook percentage calculation.

Let us first make sure that Audible is showing the required data and then see how to calculate Audible progress manually

• When the audiobook is open in the Audible player, tap 3 dots on top right

• Tap on the Player Settings option

• Move down to the Mini Player Time Display section and make sure the Time listened/ Total time is selected

That’s it. Exit out of the settings and press the arrow icon at the top left of the screen. The Audible Player will be minimized and displayed as a bar on the screen.

It now shows the data we need including time listened, and total time.

Next, let us see how to calculate Audible progress manually.

The simple formula to find the audiobook percentage is:

(Time Listened ÷ Total Time) x 100 = Percentage Listened

We need to convert time into minutes. You can simply multiply hours by 60 minutes and add them to minutes.

In the above example, I have listened to 43 minutes and 22 seconds which can be rounded to 43 minutes. The total time is 4 hours and 14 minutes, which becomes (4×60)+14 = 254 minutes.

Putting all the values into the above formula, we get.

(Time Listened ÷ Total Time) x 100 = Percentage Listened

(43  ÷ 254) x 100 = 16.9291% or 17%

There you have it; you have listened to 17% of the audiobook. This is a simple way to manually calculate the Audible percentage completed.

It may seem a lengthy process but once you get used to it, it takes less than a minute to find the progress manually.

I hope this article helped you finding your audiobook progress. Audible had a feature called “Share my Progress” to share the listened progress in percentage but the feature was discontinued around 3 years ago.

Many Audible users now use other methods to calculate their progress.
