How Many Days Until January 3?

How to Calculate Days Manually

No calculator? Here’s how to count days to January 3rd by hand:

Method 1: Simple Subtraction

If today is in January 2026:

• Subtract today’s date from 3.
• Example: On January 1, 2026, 3 - 1 = 2 days.

If today is before January 2026:

• Add remaining days in the current month, days in months until December, plus 3 days in January.
• Example: On June 17, 2025, 13 (June) + 31 (July) + 31 (August) + 30 (September) + 31 (October) + 30 (November) + 31 (December) + 3 (January) = 200 days.
