Counting down to a date
A countdown simply measures the gap between today and a future date. It's handy for events like a wedding, exam, festival, product launch or deadline — anywhere you want to know how many days are left. If you pick a date in the past, the calculator tells you how many days ago it was instead. The working-days figure skips Saturdays and Sundays, which is useful for planning around business days rather than calendar days.
Frequently asked questions
How many days until a specific date?
Enter the date above and the calculator shows the number of days from today until then, updating each day because it always counts from the current date.
Does it count today or the target day?
It measures the gap between the two dates, so a date one day ahead shows as 1 day. If you want to include today as well, add one.
What if the date has already passed?
The result switches to "days ago" and shows how long it's been since that date.
