You've got a ₱20 coin, a long bus wait and a vendo sticker full of numbers. How long will it last? This Piso WiFi time calculator turns your coins and your vendo's rate into minutes, then tells you the clock time your session ends. No rate is filled in for you, because every owner sets their own.
Multiply the pesos you insert by the minutes your vendo gives per ₱1. At 10 minutes per peso, ₱5 buys 50 minutes. Enter both numbers below and the calculator shows your total Piso WiFi time and the clock time it runs out.
The result updates as you type, and nothing leaves your phone, because the arithmetic runs entirely inside your browser.
Type the pesos you plan to insert, then the minutes your vendo gives for each peso. The calculator multiplies them, shows hours and minutes, and adds that to the current time. Change either number and the Piso WiFi time result updates instantly.
Want the bigger picture first? Our Piso WiFi guide explains vendos, rates and pause in one place.
Check the sticker on the vendo or the rates shown on the 10.0.0.1 portal. The owner sets them in the admin page, so no official national rate exists. Two vendos on the same street can sell different amounts of Piso WiFi time for one peso.
Circuitrocks' build guide shows where rates come from: the owner opens 10.0.0.1/admin and sets rates, time per coin and pause time. Owners curious about that side can read about setting rates as an owner.
That's why this calculator deliberately starts empty: any default rate we picked would be wrong for most vendos in the Philippines.
Published examples cluster around 10 minutes for ₱1. TP-Link Philippines' sample card and a Tondo vendo reported by GMA News both give ₱1 = 10 minutes and ₱5 = 1 hour. Bigger payments buy more Piso WiFi time per peso on both lists.
| You pay | TP-Link sample | Minutes per ₱1 | Baseco, Tondo (GMA News, 2020) | Minutes per ₱1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₱1 | 10 minutes | 10 | 10 minutes | 10 |
| ₱5 | 1 hour | 12 | 1 hour | 12 |
| ₱10 | 2 hours | 12 | 3 hours | 18 |
| ₱20 | 5 hours | 15 | Not reported | Not reported |
The "minutes per ₱1" columns are our own division of each published price, ready to type into the calculator. Back in 2016, Unbox PH estimated about 6 minutes per peso, so rates have moved. Trust your sticker over any list.
Owners reward bigger payments with a better rate. On TP-Link's sample card, ₱1 buys 10 minutes per peso but ₱20 buys 15. So run the calculator with the rate for the amount you'll actually pay, not the ₱1 rate, or you'll undercount your time.
Here's a worked example with TP-Link's card:
And the Tondo vendo is even more generous at ₱10, where three hours instead of two works out to 18 minutes per peso, almost double its ₱1 rate.
Yes. A pause freezes the countdown, so your end time moves later by however long you stay paused. TP-Link Philippines says LPB vendos hold a pause for 60 minutes by default, and owners can set anything from 10 minutes to 24 hours.
The calculator's end time assumes you never pause, so a 30-minute pause pushes your actual finishing time 30 minutes later than the result shows.
Here's how to pause your remaining time on the portal, step by step. And if you want to see what happens between the coin and the countdown, read how a session runs from start to finish.
The rate examples come from TP-Link Philippines, GMA News and Unbox PH, the pause limits from TP-Link's pause guide, and the admin rate settings from Circuitrocks' build guide. The minutes-per-peso column is our own arithmetic. Each source is linked below.
These six answers cover the standard rate, how long ₱5 lasts, adding coins mid-session, what pausing does to your time, whether the calculator saves anything, and why your real time ran short. Each answer is short and direct.
No. Each owner sets their own rate in the vendo's admin page. Published examples sit around 10 minutes for ₱1, but always read your vendo's sticker.
One hour on TP-Link's sample card and on the Tondo vendo GMA News reported. Your vendo sets its own rate, so check before you pay.
Yes. TP-Link's session steps end with adding more coins to keep going. Run the calculator again with the new total to see your new end time.
No. A pause freezes the countdown, so your minutes wait. Your end time simply moves later by the length of the pause.
No. The maths runs in your browser, and the page sends and stores nothing.
Most often the rate you typed didn't match the amount you paid. A brownout also usually resets the session timer, says TP-Link.
