Calculating the Days to Valentine’s Day: Simple Methods Explained
Want to figure out the days until February 14th yourself? It’s easier than you might think! You can always use a handy online tool like our days until date calculator, but here are a couple of methods for manual calculation.
Method 1: Manual Day Counting
-
If it’s already February: Simply subtract the current day of February from 14. For example, if today is February 5th, then 14 – 5 = 9 days until Valentine’s Day (within the same year).
-
If it’s not February yet: This requires a bit more step-by-step counting:
- Find the remaining days in the current month by subtracting the current day from the total days in that month.
- Add the total number of days in each full month between the current month and February.
- Finally, add 14 (for the 14 days in February leading up to Valentine’s Day).
For example, starting from October 20th:
- Days left in October (31-20) = 11 days
- Days in November = 30 days
- Days in December = 31 days
- Days in January = 31 days
- Days in February until Valentine’s = 14 days
- Total days = 11 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 14 = 117 days
Method 2: Using Google Sheets for Day Calculation
Spreadsheet programs like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel make calculating days between dates incredibly simple with formulas:
-
From Today’s Date: To calculate days from today, use this formula:
=DATE(2026, 2, 14) - TODAY()
Just enter this formula into any cell, and it will instantly show you the number of days. -
From a Specific Date: If you have a starting date in cell A1, use this formula:
=DATE(2026, 2, 14) - A1
This will calculate the days between the date in cell A1 and Valentine’s Day 2026.
With 363 days until Valentine’s Day 2026, the countdown is on! Whether you’re meticulously planning a grand romantic gesture or simply want to be prepared, now you know exactly how much time you have to make Valentine’s Day truly special.
