Days Until New Year

This live countdown shows how many days remain until New Year's Day, 1 January. It is calculated from today's date and updates automatically whenever you visit, and once the new year arrives it rolls forward on its own to count down to the next one.

Because it always targets the very next 1 January, you can bookmark this page and it will stay accurate every year without any changes. The run-up to New Year is full of plans that benefit from a clear deadline: booking somewhere to see in the new year, organising a party, wrapping up goals before the year closes, or simply pacing the countdown itself. A precise number of days keeps all of that in view without any mental arithmetic across the turn of the year.

The countdown also tells you which weekday the coming 1 January falls on, which shapes how the holiday weekend lands and how much time off you can string together. The figure is anchored to today and computed in a timezone-safe way, so it reads the same wherever you are, and the whole calculation happens privately in your browser.

To use it, just read the result — the days until New Year appear automatically. On 1 January the page tells you the day has arrived rather than showing a countdown, and you can change the date in the picker to count down to any other milestone.

For other seasonal occasions, the days until Christmas page counts down to 25 December, the days until Valentine's Day page counts to 14 February, and the countdown timer to a date handles any event you like.

The countdown is the number of whole days from today to the next 1 January, calculated at UTC midnight so it is timezone-safe. Once 1 January has passed, the target rolls forward to 1 January of the following year. On the day itself the count is zero.
