How this countdown counts
It finds the next time your birth month and day come round, today included, and counts the calendar days to it. On the day itself it says so, and the day after it starts counting to next year.
Frequently asked questions
How many days until my birthday?
Enter your date of birth and the countdown shows the calendar days to your next birthday in your own time zone, with the hours, minutes and seconds to midnight at the start of the day.
What day of the week is my birthday this year?
The date line under the timer shows the weekday of your next birthday. Because a year is 52 weeks and one day, a birthday moves forward one weekday each year, or two when a leap day falls in between.
What happens if I was born on February 29?
In leap years the countdown runs to February 29. In other years it uses February 28, the last day of the month.
Is my date of birth stored anywhere?
Only in your browser, so the countdown is still there next time, and in the link if you choose to share it. It is not sent to us.
