About the Birthday Countdown
Birthday Countdown shows the days, hours and minutes left until your next birthday and updates live. It is a simple, fun way to look forward to the day, plan a party, or remind yourself to send wishes. Enter a birth date and the tool finds the next occurrence of that day and month.
If your birthday is today, the tool says so. If it has already passed this year, it counts to next year. People born on 29 February have a birthday only in leap years, so the countdown targets the next 29 February, or the nearest valid date, depending on how the tool handles the edge case shown on screen.
How to use it
- Choose the birth date or the birthday you want to count down to.
- Watch the countdown for days, hours, minutes and seconds.
- Keep the page open to see it tick, or return any time and enter the date again.
- Share the number of days with friends if you wish.
Tips and good to know
- The countdown uses your device's clock and time zone, so travelling or changing the time zone changes the hours.
- You can enter a friend's birthday to see how long until theirs.
- Combine with the Age Calculator to see your exact age on the day.
