How the count works
The calculator counts calendar days between today and the date you pick, weekends included. Today isn’t counted, because it has already started. The date you pick is counted, so tomorrow is 1 day away and today is 0.
Working days are Monday to Friday, after today up to and including the date. Public holidays aren’t taken out, because they differ from place to place.
Weeks and months
Weeks are the days divided by 7, with the rest shown as days. 30 days is 4 weeks and 2 days.
Months follow the calendar, so their length changes. January 31 to March 1 is 1 month and 1 day, because the month ends early in February.
Ideas for a date to count to
- A trip, a wedding or a move
- An exam, a deadline or a launch
- A due date or a birthday
- The end of a lease, a contract or a school term
- The day a habit or a challenge reaches 100 days
Live countdowns
For holidays, a ticking clock is more fun than a number. The urTimer countdowns show the days, hours, minutes and seconds until Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Year and your birthday.
