Days left in the month

How the days left are counted

The tool reads today’s date from your device, finds the last day of the month and counts the days in between. By default it counts from tomorrow, so on the 30th of a 31-day month there is 1 day left. Switch to Counting today if today still counts for you, for example when you plan the rest of a working day.

Weekdays are Monday to Friday, and weekend days are Saturday and Sunday. Public holidays are not taken off, because they differ by country; the business days calculator counts working days between any two dates.

The share of the month gone moves with the clock. At noon on the 15th of a 30-day month, 48.3% of the month has gone. Pick another month to see its length, weekdays and weekend days. Everything is calculated in your browser.

How many days are in each month?

Seven months have 31 days: January, March, May, July, August, October and December. April, June, September and November have 30. February has 28, or 29 in a leap year. A year is a leap year when it divides by 4, except century years that do not divide by 400, so 2028 is a leap year and 2100 is not.

An old way to remember it: make two fists and count the months along your knuckles and the dips between them. Every month that lands on a knuckle has 31 days.

How many weekdays are in a month?

Every month has between 20 and 23 weekdays. February in a common year always has exactly 20. A 31-day month that starts on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday has the most, 23, and a 30-day month that starts on a Saturday has only 20.
