What day of the year is it?

The day-of-year (also called ordinal day or year day number) is just a count: January 1 is day 1, December 31 is day 365 — or day 366 in a leap year. The tool opens with today's date pre-filled so the first thing you see is "today is day N of YYYY" with the percentage progress through the year. Change the date to any other day to see its number.

365 vs 366 — when does it matter?

Normal years have 365 days. Leap years have 366 because February 29 is added. The rule:

So the answer to "what day of the year is it out of 365" is wrong if you ask it on a leap year — the right denominator is 366. The tool handles this automatically and shows the correct max for the selected year.

Reverse mode — day number to date

Less common but useful for scientific data and military date formats. Switch to Number → date, enter the year and the day-of-year number (1-366), and the tool returns the calendar date with ISO week and quarter. Useful when you receive data labeled 2026-153 (DDD-YYYY format) and need to know what calendar date that actually is.

ISO 8601 week numbers

Different from "week of the year" the way Excel might calculate it. ISO weeks:

Year progress percentage

Want to see how much of the year is left? "85 % through 2026" is a more visceral framing than "day 310 of 365" — both shown side by side.
