This page is not a snapshot. The figures are recalculated every time it loads, using the -04:00 time zone, so tomorrow the count will be one day smaller. If you bookmark the page you will always see the current gap rather than the number that was true on the day you saved it, and nobody has to edit anything for that to stay correct.

Planning around the date

For work and school planning the useful numbers are working days and weekends. Between today and Eid al-Fitr there are 620 weekdays (Monday to Friday), 124 Saturdays and 124 Sundays. Take out public holidays in your region and you have a realistic count of working days left. If you are paid every two weeks, expect about 62 paydays before then, and about 124 if you are paid weekly.

Some people prefer to break a long wait into stages. The quarter mark of the range is Wednesday, May 5, 2027, the halfway point is Wednesday, December 8, 2027, and the three-quarter mark is Wednesday, July 12, 2028. By the time Eid al-Fitr arrives, 12.3% of 2029 will have gone by. There are 124 Fridays in the range, which is handy if your deadlines or deliveries land at the end of the week.

About Eid al-Fitr

The first day of Eid al-Fitr, computed from the Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar. Because Eid al-Fitr is a religious observance, many families organize travel, meals, services and time off around it. Congregations usually publish their own schedules, so treat the date here as the calendar date and confirm local timings with your community.

Eid al-Fitr follows the Islamic lunar calendar, whose months last 29 or 30 days. The date here comes from the tabular Hijri calendar; when a community sights the crescent moon locally, the observed date can differ by a day.
