About this digital tool
The day counter shows how many days, weeks or months remain until a given date, or how many have passed if the date has gone by. Choose the date of the event, deadline or birthday and get the number of days, together with the status: upcoming or past.
The count is based on today's date and updates automatically every day. It is useful for tracking important days such as an exam, holidays, a wedding, the birth of a child, the end of a project or a payment deadline. For the difference between any two dates, use the date difference calculator, and for working days without weekends, the working days calculator.
How to use
- Choose the date of the event or deadline.
- See the number of days remaining until the date.
- Check the status: upcoming or past.
- Change the date to compare other events.
