1 min per year

Caleb =1 min
Quoting ariesp19:
how do you caculate the proper time out?

go ahead and start with your 18mo old. As for your 11 yo, I am not really sure. I will see if there is a way to contact them to ask a question.
Quoting BlueRosesMama:

I think once they are past the age of 7, time-outs don't work, and you're supposed to take away a privilege or something. If she has a Wii for example, you take away the privilege of playing with it when she's acting up.
