Event countdown and calendar planner

This countdown calculator tells you exactly how many days are left until any event — a holiday, birthday, wedding, exam, or deadline. Enter the event name and date and it shows the days remaining, the number of weeks and days, and which day of the week the event falls on. It also works for past dates, telling you how long ago something happened.

Plan ahead with confidence

Counting down keeps important dates in focus and helps you plan backwards — booking, preparing, and setting reminders with enough lead time. Knowing the day of the week is especially handy for scheduling events and travel.

More date tools

To measure the gap between two specific dates, use our date calculator; to count only working days, the business days calculator; and for ages, the age calculator.
