Frequently asked questions
How many days are left in the year?
The countdown at the top of this page shows how many days are left in the year, counted to midnight on January 1 in your time zone and updated live.
How many days are in a year?
A common year has 365 days and a leap year has 366. Leap years are every 4 years, except years divisible by 100 but not by 400 (so 2000 was a leap year and 2100 will not be).

Yes. The count runs to midnight on January 1, so today is included in the days left.
How many days are left in the year not including today?
Take one away from the number in the countdown. On December 31 there is 1 day left including today, and 0 not including today.
How many weeks are left in the year?
