How to count the days until a date

  1. Pick a target date

    Choose the future date you are counting toward. The countdown appears the moment a date is set.

  2. Add a time if you need one

    Optionally set a time of day to get an hours-until readout as well as the day count.

  3. Count only weekdays if you like

    Turn on Count only weekdays to switch the headline to working days, skipping every Saturday and Sunday.

  4. Read or copy the result

    The summary shows days, weeks, months, and hours remaining. Click Copy summary to share it.

Why use this tool

One date, several readouts

See the total days until, along with weeks, a weeks-and-days split, approximate months, and hours when a time is set.

Weekdays-only counting

Switch to counting only Monday to Friday to get the number of working days until a deadline, skipping weekends.

Handles today and past dates

A date that is today reads as zero, and a date already gone shows a clear already-passed note with how long ago it was.

Stays current on its own

The count is measured against the live current time, so it stays right as the clock advances.

One-click copy

Copy summary turns the countdown into a short line of plain text, ready for a note, an email, or a chat.

Private by design

The date you enter is counted in your browser against your device clock, and nothing is uploaded.

About this tool

This tool counts how many days there are until a date you choose and shows the answer several ways at once: total days, weeks, a weeks-and-days split, and approximate months. Add an optional time of day and it also reports the hours remaining to that exact moment. The count is measured against the current time, read after the page loads, so the number is always current rather than baked in when the page was built.

The Count only weekdays option changes the headline to working days, counting just Monday through Friday and skipping every weekend, which is the figure you want for a project deadline, a notice period, or a delivery estimate. Everyday uses include counting down to a birthday, a holiday, a wedding, an exam, a product launch, a trip, or a renewal date. A date that falls on today reads as zero rather than an error, and a date that has already gone shows a plain already-passed note along with how many days ago it was.

Because the whole count runs in your browser, the date you enter is never uploaded or stored. To measure the span between two fixed dates rather than a countdown from today, use the date difference calculator; to count down live with an alarm and a fullscreen view, use the countdown timer; and to work out an exact age from a birthdate, use the age calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How is the number of days until a date worked out?
The tool compares today with the target date and counts the whole calendar days between them, then also expresses that as weeks and approximate months. If you add a time, it additionally shows the hours remaining to that exact moment.
What does "count only weekdays" do?
It switches the headline to working days, counting only Monday to Friday and skipping every Saturday and Sunday. This gives the number of working days until a deadline rather than the total calendar days.
What happens if I pick today or a past date?
A date that is today reads as zero days. A date that has already passed shows a clear already-passed note along with how many days ago it was, rather than a negative number or an error.
Does the count update as time passes?
Yes. The countdown is measured against the live current time and refreshes on its own, so the number stays accurate while the tab is open.
Is the date I enter kept private?
Yes. The calculation runs entirely in your browser against your device clock. The date and time you enter are never uploaded, stored, or logged.
