How this is calculated
- Dates use Eastern Time (America/New_York). Remaining-year counts exclude the reference date and include December 31. Weeks remaining are full seven-day blocks, with remaining days shown separately.
- Gregorian leap years are divisible by 4, except century years unless divisible by 400.
How to use the day of the year
Shows the day number of any date, from 1 for January 1 to 365, or 366 in a leap year.
Example
March 1 is day 60 in a normal year and day 61 in a leap year.
Common questions
- Is this the same as a Julian date?
- Often, yes. Many people use "Julian date" to mean the day of the year, but astronomers use the term for a continuous day count.
