About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 712. Today is left out and October 1 itself is counted, so on Saturday, September 30 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(2028,10,1)-TODAY() gives the same 712 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This count to October 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.
