Countdown to any date

The starting date defaults to today. Enter a target date to see the number of days, full weeks plus remaining days, and total decimal weeks. Past target dates are labeled as days since the target.

Should today count?

Standard countdowns measure the date difference and do not count the starting date as a full day. Choose inclusive counting when a rule specifically says to count both the starting date and target date.

Example

September 1 to September 15 is 14 days using standard date subtraction, or 15 counted dates when both endpoints are included.

Related date tools

Use the add or subtract days calculator to find a date from an offset, the days between dates calculator for two fixed dates, and the business days calculator for weekdays.

December 1 to December 31: a 30-day countdown

A December 1 start date and December 31 target date have 30 elapsed days between them. Inclusive mode counts the first day as well, making 31 calendar dates.

How to interpret the result

Enter a fixed starting date to make countdown results reproducible instead of relying on today's changing date.

Important limitation

This is calendar-day counting, not a promise about delivery or business-day deadlines; the start-date default changes with the day.
