New Year Countdown
How long until New Year?
A live countdown to midnight on 1 January in your zone — and in every other, because the new year arrives 26 times, over 26 hours.
Questions people ask
The things that come up about new year countdowns, answered plainly.
Where does the new year arrive first?
Kiritimati in Kiribati, at UTC+14. It arrives last in Baker and Howland Islands at UTC-12, 26 hours later — so the new year takes longer to sweep the globe than a day is long.
How many seconds are in a year?
31,536,000 in a common year and 31,622,400 in a leap year. The often-quoted π × 10⁷ ≈ 31,415,927 is a decent mental approximation, and about 0.4% short.
