The start of Ramadan in plain numbers

As of Wednesday, September 30, 2026, the start of Ramadan is 839 days away. Put another way, that is 119 full weeks and 6 extra days, about 27 calendar months, or 20,136 hours if you count from midnight. The date lands on a Tuesday, in ISO week 3 of 2029, and it is day 16 of 365 in that year.

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 the start of Ramadan there are 599 weekdays (Monday to Friday), 120 Saturdays and 120 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 59 paydays before then, and about 119 if you are paid weekly.

Some people prefer to break a long wait into stages. The quarter mark of the range is Tuesday, April 27, 2027, the halfway point is Tuesday, November 23, 2027, and the three-quarter mark is Tuesday, June 20, 2028. By the time the start of Ramadan arrives, 4.4% of 2029 will have gone by. There are 120 Fridays in the range, which is handy if your deadlines or deliveries land at the end of the week.

About the start of Ramadan

The first day of Ramadan, computed from the Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar (observed start dates can shift ±1 day with local moon sighting). Because the start of Ramadan 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.

the start of Ramadan 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.
