# Countdown Calculator

> Count down to any date and see the gap in years, months, weeks, days, hours and minutes.

A countdown calculator measures the gap between today and a future date in years, months, weeks, days, hours and minutes at once. The years-and-months figure is calendar-accurate rather than dividing by 365, so a gap of exactly one year reads as one year regardless of leap days.

## FAQ

### Why do the years-and-months figures not match days divided by 365?

Because months have different lengths. Calendar arithmetic counts real months, so 1 January to 1 March is exactly two months regardless of whether February had 28 or 29 days — dividing by an average never gives a clean answer.
