When rendering an animation in the render window on the top right you can see the render time of the last frame. But where can I see the sum of the render times of all frames?

There's an add-on called Render Time Estimation that will do that for you.

Full disclosure, I wrote that add-on.

    $\begingroup$ I've never pushed for its inclusion in trunk. I should probably clean it up a bit and do that. $\endgroup$

1 - Move cursor over a progress bar, it displays Estimated and Elapsed time. But it disappears after rendering.

2 - or you can check file info and calculate total (elapsed) time from "created" to " modified" time, if minutes are enough for you. Like here rendering took 4 min.

I don’t think either answer addresses the question exactly - the poster wanted to know total render time already (not remaining), and for the whole animation, not for specific frames. I’ve written a plugin that gives you this exactly, which is free for personal use: https://blendermarket.com/products/total-render-time
