Birthday countdown questions

How do I work out how many days until a birthday?

Enter the date above. The countdown uses the day and month and counts to the next time it comes round, so the year you enter does not matter.

What if the birthday is on 29 February?

The countdown waits for the next leap year, when 29 February actually happens.

Does it work out the star sign too?

Yes. It shows the Western zodiac sign for the day and month you enter.

Is the date saved anywhere?

No. The sums run in your browser and nothing is stored or sent unless you choose to sign up to HintDrop.

How can I stop forgetting birthdays?

Add each birthday to HintDrop. It reminds you ahead of time and shows the gift ideas that person has dropped, so you are never stuck at the last minute.
