Frequently asked questions
How many days until Christmas?
Choose the Christmas quick pick and the calculator jumps to the next December 25 and shows the exact days, hours and minutes left, live. After Christmas passes it automatically targets the following year.
How do you count the days until a date?
Subtract today's date from the target date. Counting from today, tomorrow is 1 day away, so a date one week from today is 7 days away. The live timer goes further and counts down to the exact time you set, midnight by default.
How are business days counted?
The calculator counts every Monday to Friday from tomorrow up to and including the target date. It does not know your public holidays, so subtract those yourself if they fall inside the range.
Can I share a countdown?
Yes. The date, time and name are stored in the page link, for example ?date=2026-12-25&title=Christmas. Copy the link and anyone who opens it sees the same countdown in their own time zone.
What happens when the date has passed?
The timer switches to counting up and the headline shows how many days have passed since the date, so it also works as a days since calculator.
