Counts the gap, not the days occupied

A countdown is the gap between today and a future date. The first field defaults to today, so entering the target date is all it takes. Days, weeks, months and the calendar breakdown are all shown at once.

How to count down to a date

1 Leave the first date as today.

2 Enter the date you are counting to.

3 Read the days, or whichever unit suits.

4 Turn on inclusive counting if the target day itself counts.

Countdowns almost always want exclusive counting — days remaining, not days occupied. "Three days until Friday" said on a Tuesday means Wednesday, Thursday, Friday are still to come in one reading and only Wednesday and Thursday in another. This tool defaults to the gap, which is the more common reading for a countdown, and offers the inclusive count for anything being occupied rather than awaited.
