How does this calculator work?
Days to New Year = (Jan 1 00:00 local time − current date/time) ÷ 86 400. The calculator also shows weeks, total hours, total minutes, and your progress through the current calendar year. The result reflects your device clock at page-load time — refresh to update.
Formula
How this is calculated
The calculator computes the difference between your local system time (at the moment the page loads) and midnight on 1 January of the selected year. The result is expressed in total seconds, then broken down into days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The "weeks remaining" figure is the full-week count (floor of days ÷ 7). "Total hours" and "total minutes" are the full cumulative figures — e.g. total hours includes the hours inside each remaining day.
The progress bar shows where you currently stand within the calendar year: from 1 January of the current year at the left to 1 January of the next year at the right. A reading of 50% means you are roughly halfway through the year.
Because the countdown is computed from your device clock at the moment the page renders, it will not tick down automatically — refresh the page to get an updated reading. The calculation is based on your local time zone; if you and your celebration are in different time zones, the countdown reflects your device's local midnight, not the target location.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Enter any year from 1900 to 3000. If the target year has already passed, the calculator tells you how many days ago that New Year's Day was.
