How to calculate
Counts the days from today, or any date you choose, to the next May 23, 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 235 days until May 23 on Sunday, May 23, 2027.
Method: Find the first May 23 on or after the start date, then count the days from the start date to it.
- May 23 comes every year, so the count is never more than 365 days.
- The start date itself is not counted: from the day before May 23, the count is 1; on May 23 itself, it is 0.
- Start dates from January 1, 1900 to December 31, 2400 work for the count to May 23, the range the date field accepts.
- Today is the date on your own device, so the count to May 23 changes at midnight where you are. Dates are whole calendar days, so a daylight-saving change never adds or loses a day.
