How to count the days until a date
The number of days until an event is simply the target date minus today. This calculator does that instantly and breaks it down into weeks, months, and working days, so you can plan properly — whether it's a countdown to a holiday, an exam, a wedding, or a project deadline.
What are "working days"?
Working days count only Monday to Friday, skipping weekends — useful for estimating deadlines and delivery times. (Public holidays vary by country, so they aren't removed.)
Counting days since a past date
Pick a date in the past and the calculator tells you how many days ago it was — handy for anniversaries, "how long since…" questions, or tracking milestones.
Does it include today or the target day?
It counts full days from today to the target. If you need to include both endpoints (for example counting vacation days), add one.
Why does the day of the week matter?
Knowing the target lands on, say, a Saturday helps with planning events and travel. The calculator shows it automatically.
Need the gap between two dates instead?
Use the date difference calculator to count between any two dates, not just from today.
