Frequently asked questions

How is day 1 counted?
January 1st is day 1, so the day-of-year number always matches the date in January and climbs from there. December 31st is day 365, or 366 in a leap year.
Does it account for leap years?
Yes. Enter any year and the tool checks whether it's a leap year and adjusts the count after February 28th accordingly.
Can I look up a day number for a past or future date, not just today?
Yes. Pick any date on the calendar and it converts instantly both ways: date to day-of-year number, and day-of-year number back to a calendar date.
