How Many Days Until New Year?
This page counts down to New Year's Day on 1 January in your browser's local calendar. It answers how many days, hours, and minutes remain until the first midnight of the year — not what time the ball drops in another city.
Keep the tab open for a live count. Background tabs may throttle updates; the remaining time recalculates from your clock whenever you return.
Chinese New Year and Christmas have their own countdown URLs. For a date you pick yourself — a birthday, a deadline — the generic date countdown is the right tool.

Questions about this countdown
- Which time zone is used for New Year's Day?
- Midnight of 1 January in the time zone your device is set to. This is a local calendar countdown, not a live clock of a city; open a world-clock city page if you need another zone.
- What happens after midnight?
- The countdown stops at zero and, if the tab stays open, continues counting up so you can see how far into the new year you are.
