The time during which the temperature of a terrestrial-like planet remains in the liquid water range during the fading of its parent brown dwarf is calculated as a function of brown dwarf mass and planetary semimajor axis using recent models for brown dwarf evolution and two criteria for habitable zone width. Durations of habitability range from 0.5--2 Gyr at a brown dwarf mass of 0.03 M&sun; to 2--10 Gyr at a brown dwarf mass of 0.07 M&sun; for planets within a few Roche radii.
