About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 438. Today is left out and January 1 itself is counted, so on Friday, December 31 the page will show 1 day to go. US clocks go back on Sunday, November 1 and forward again on Sunday, March 14, 2027, which changes the hours but not the number of days.
In Excel or Google Sheets, =DATE(2028,1,1)-TODAY() gives the same 438 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This count to January 1, 2028 was worked out on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
