With the Time Estimates Rollup turned on, you can make tasks display the sum of all time estimates from the parent task and any subtasks.
For example:
- Task: 1 hour
- Subtask: 1 hour
- Another subtask: 30 minutes
The time shown on the task will be the sum: 2 hours 30 minutes.
Time Estimates Rollup works with Time Estimates per Assignee.

See Time Estimates Rollup on views
You can add Time Estimates as a column or field on the following views.
- List view
- Calendar view
- Table view
- Gantt view
When showing subtasks separately in List view, tasks will not include rolled-up time estimates.
In List and Table views, you can use Column Calculations to show the sum, average, or range of time estimates for your tasks. The calculation will include rolled-up time estimates.
Time Estimates are not rolled up in Team and Workload views because each task and individual subtasks are treated separately to calculate capacity.
