How many days until new year?

New Year's Day is January 1, so this countdown targets the very start of the next year and rolls over automatically once it arrives.

The headline shows the whole days remaining; the timer below ticks down hours, minutes and seconds to midnight in your local time zone.

How the date is worked out

The new year begins at midnight on January 1 in the Gregorian calendar used by most of the world. Because the countdown uses your device's clock, the final seconds line up with midnight where you are — not with a fixed global moment. Many other new-year celebrations (Lunar New Year, Rosh Hashanah, Nowruz) fall on different dates set by other calendars; this page counts down to the standard January 1.
