How to calculate
Counts the days from today, or any date you choose, to the next February 21, with its day of the week.
Example with the default inputs (Count from September 30, 2026) on the example date Wednesday, September 30, 2026: From September 30, 2026, there are 144 days until February 21 on Sunday, February 21, 2027.
Method: Find the first February 21 on or after the start date, then count the days from the start date to it.
- February 21 comes every year, so the count is never more than 365 days.
- The start date itself is not counted: from the day before February 21, the count is 1; on February 21 itself, it is 0.
- Start dates from January 1, 1900 to December 31, 2400 work for the count to February 21, the range the date field accepts.
- Today is the date on your own device, so the count to February 21 changes at midnight where you are. Dates are whole calendar days, so a daylight-saving change never adds or loses a day.
