Countdown in days and weeks from one date to another.

Days Until Calculator

Worked example result

Days remaining	23
In weeks and days	3 weeks and 2 days
Status	In the future

From January 1 to January 24, 2026 there are 23 days remaining — 3 weeks and 2 days.

Count down from a starting date to a target date: how many days remain, the same span in weeks and days, and a plain-language status.

If the target date has already passed, the count goes negative and the result says so clearly, showing how long ago it was instead of a misleading countdown.

The formula

Days remaining = target date − from date (negative when the target is in the past)

Frequently asked questions

What happens when the target date has passed?

Days remaining becomes negative and the status reads 'In the past', with the weeks-and-days figure followed by 'ago' — so an event 8 days back shows −8 days and '1 week and 1 day ago'.

Does the count include the target day itself?

It measures the gap between the two dates, so a target tomorrow is 1 day away. If you are counting down to an event day, that is the usual convention.
