How Many Days Until My Birthday?

A live birthday countdown with age, weekday and the next five birthdays

Enter your date of birth and the countdown shows exactly how many days are left until your next birthday, plus a live hours-minutes-seconds timer. You also see the age you will turn, the weekday your birthday falls on, your exact current age in years, months and days, how many days you have lived so far and the date of your half birthday. A table lists your next five birthdays with their weekdays, so you can see which ones fall on a weekend. Add a name to count down to a friend's or child's birthday. People born on 29 February are handled correctly: in non-leap years the birthday is counted on 28 February.
