Formula
remaining ms = target − now; total days = ⌊|Δ| / 86,400,000⌋; total weeks = ⌊total days / 7⌋
- · All math is done in your device’s local time zone, so if you want a different city, convert the target time to local first.
- · Total months uses calendar arithmetic — e.g. Jan 31 10:00 → Mar 1 09:00 counts as 1 full month, not 2 (a month is only counted once its same-day, same-time anniversary has passed).
- · One day is treated as exactly 86,400 seconds. The ±1-hour DST transitions are not corrected per day; the live ticker is accurate to the second across normal days.
- · Past dates (target < now) display elapsed time instead — numbers never go negative, only the direction label flips.
- · The target date is stored in the URL (?t=…), so you can copy and share the link to land on the same countdown. No personal data is sent or stored.
Frequently asked
What happens if I pick a date in the past?
It automatically switches to elapsed mode and shows how long has passed since the target. Handy for anniversaries, sobriety streaks, project start dates and pet birthdays.
Why does the “total months” figure look smaller than I expected?
Only complete calendar months are counted. From 16 May to 15 June 23:59 is still 0 months; you have to reach 16 June for it to tick over to 1. This avoids over-counting partial months.
Does the countdown update live or only on page load?
It updates every second — the seconds box ticks in real time without any reload.
