How Many Days Until…? Countdown Calculator
Pick any date to see how many days are left, plus the weeks, months, business days and a live countdown to the second.
Subtract today's date from the target date. The calculator counts every day after today up to and including the target date, so "1 day until" means the date is tomorrow.
How to use the Days Until Calculator
- Choose the date you are counting down to — a holiday, birthday, exam, wedding or trip.
- Leave Count from as today, or choose another start date.
- Read the number of days left, the weeks and days, business days and the live countdown.
If the date is in the past, the calculator shows how many days ago it was.
Countdowns people check most
Christmas, New Year, Halloween, Valentine's Day and Easter are the most searched countdowns, followed by the first day of summer, school holidays and birthdays. Each has its own page that always shows the next date and the days left.
Days, weeks and business days
A countdown of 45 days is 6 weeks and 3 days. Business days count only Monday to Friday, which is useful for work deadlines and delivery estimates. Public holidays are not removed, because they differ by country.
Make your countdown exact
The live countdown shows days, hours, minutes and seconds until midnight at the start of the target date in your own time zone. It updates every second.
