Methods and apparatus to determine reach with time dependent weights are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein includes determining a first subset of panelists exposed to media at a first time; determining a second subset of the panelists exposed to the media at a second time; applying a first plurality of weights to the first subset of panelists to generate first weighted exposures; applying a second plurality of weights to the second subset of the panelists to generate second weighted exposures; for a first panelist in the first and second subsets, determining a first cumulative weighted exposure by determining which of the first and second weighted exposures is largest for each of the first panelist; for a second panelist in one of the first and second subsets, determining a second cumulative weighted exposure by based on the weight applied to the second panelist; and determining a reach of the media for the first and second times by combining the first and second cumulative weighted exposures.
