And if there a set time how can that time be calculated?

Almost indefinitely. SInce room temperature is high enough that atoms are still moving around, the magnetic domains will suffer as the motion rearranged the atoms. Often magnets come with a "keeper" which is usually steel. The keeper helps by concentrating the magnetic field. Even if a magnet looses if magnetic strength, it can be remagnetized by exposing it to a high magnetic field. Magnet materials also have a Curie temperature, a temperature where the vibration of the atoms will "erase" the magnetism (by randomizing the magnetic domains). Again, it can be remagnetized once it cools.

Permanently! Unless you hammer it or heat it nearly red hot.
