How to calculate
Counts the days from today, or any date you choose, to the next Fourth of July, with its date and day of the week.
Example with the default inputs (Count from September 29, 2026) on the example date Tuesday, September 29, 2026: From September 29, 2026, there are 278 days until the Fourth of July on Sunday, July 4, 2027.
Method: Find the first date of the Fourth of July on or after the start date, then count the days from the start date to it.
- Independence Day (the Fourth of July) is July 4 every year.
- Start dates from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 2400 work, because the US federal holiday rules used here start in 1986.
- The start date itself is not counted: from the day before, the count is 1; on the day itself, it is 0.
- Dates are calendar days with no time of day, so a time zone or a daylight-saving change never adds or loses a day.
- When the date falls on a weekend, the US federal day off moves to the Friday before or the Monday after; the count is to the date itself.
