How to Calculate Days Manually

No calculator? Here's how to count days to the next Black Friday by hand:

Method 1: Simple Subtraction

If today is in November of the same year:

Subtract today’s date from Black Friday’s date.
Example: On November 1, 2025, 28 - 1 = 27 days.

If today is before November:

Add remaining days in the current month, days in the months until October, plus Black Friday’s date in November.
Example: On June 26, 2025, 4 days (June) + 31 (July) + 31 (August) + 30 (September) + 31 (October) + 28 (November) = 155 days.

Tip: Use this table for days in each month or try our Days Between Dates Calculator:
