There are 49 days until New Year’s Day (Friday, January 1, 2027), counting from today, Friday, November 13, 2026, without counting either day.
How it’s calculated
Days until = target date − today. Neither day is counted, so on the day before the date the countdown shows 1 day. Workdays in between are Monday to Friday, minus U.S. federal holidays on their observed dates; weekends and Fridays are counted on the same days in between.
Worked example with your numbers
- Today: Friday, November 13, 2026. Target: Friday, January 1, 2027.
- Days between: January 1, 2027 − November 13, 2026 = 49 days (7 weeks).
- Days strictly in between: 48 — 14 weekend days, 2 federal holidays on weekdays, 32 workdays.

How the days are counted
Days until = the target date minus today. Neither today nor the target day is counted, so a date one week from today is 7 days away and tomorrow is 1 day away. Workdays are the Mondays to Fridays in between, minus U.S. federal holidays on the days they are observed. For dates in the past, the calculator shows the days since.
Popular countdowns
Every U.S. holiday has its own countdown page — see the table above or the holiday countdown. To find the date a number of days from today, use days from today; to count working days between two dates, use the business days calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I count the days until a date?
Subtract today’s date from the target date. From Monday to the Friday of the same week is 4 days. The calculator does this for any date and also shows weeks and workdays.
Does the countdown include today?
No. Neither today nor the target day is counted, the way people usually count “days until”.
How many workdays are left until a date?
The calculator counts the Mondays to Fridays between today and the date and subtracts federal holidays on their observed days. Your employer’s holidays may differ.
Can I share my countdown?
Yes. Enter a date and an event name and use “Copy link”; the link opens the countdown for that date.
How many weeks until a date?
Divide the days by 7. The calculator shows it as weeks and days, for example “10 weeks and 3 days”.
