What this tool does

See how many days are left until the next February 1, counting from today or any date you choose. You fill in these fields: Count from. It shows days until February 1, next February 1, and weeks and days.

Inputs

  • Count from: A date. Starts as today's date. Defaults to today. Change it to count from another day.

How to use

  1. Pick a date for "Count from".
  2. Read the result: days until February 1, next February 1, and weeks and days. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Example 1. Inputs:

  • Count from: October 8, 2026

Results:

  • Days until February 1: 116 days
  • Next February 1: Monday, February 1, 2027
  • Weeks and days: 16 weeks, 4 days

How this is worked out: Oct 8 to Dec 1 = 54 days (Oct 8 to Dec 8 is 61, minus 7). Dec 1 to Feb 1 = 31 (Dec) + 31 (Jan) = 62. 54 + 62 = 116.

Example 2. Inputs:

  • Count from: February 1, 2027

Results:

  • Days until February 1: 0 days
  • Next February 1: Monday, February 1, 2027
  • Weeks and days: 0 weeks, 0 days
  • Note: February 1 is the day you picked, so there are 0 days to go.

How this is worked out: The count date is Feb 1 itself, so the count is 0 and the date does not move to next year.

Example 3. Inputs:

  • Count from: February 2, 2027

Results:

  • Days until February 1: 364 days
  • Next February 1: Tuesday, February 1, 2028
  • Weeks and days: 52 weeks, 0 days

How this is worked out: Feb 2 2027 to Feb 2 2028 is 365 days (Feb 29 2028 falls after Feb 2), minus 1 = 364.

Example 4. Inputs:

  • Count from: February 2, 2024

Results:

  • Days until February 1: 365 days
  • Next February 1: Saturday, February 1, 2025
  • Weeks and days: 52 weeks, 1 day

How this is worked out: Feb 2 2024 to Feb 2 2025 includes Feb 29 2024 (leap year), so 366 days, minus 1 = 365.

Where this comes from

The next time a month and day comes round. Finds the next time a month and day comes round, on or after the start date. If the start date is that day, there are 0 days to go. A February 29 date is observed on February 28 in a year that is not a leap year. Source: The Gregorian calendar: month lengths and the leap year rule (every fourth year, except century years not divisible by 400).

Limitations

  • Counts to February 1 only, each year. An event held on a nearby weekday or weekend instead is not accounted for.
  • Counts whole calendar days and ignores time zones and the time of day.
  • Uses the Gregorian calendar for every date, for years 1 to 9999.
