How this calculator works
Valentine's Day is a fixed feast on 14 February, so the countdown depends only on the calendar. The page forms 14 February for the year of your starting date and uses it if it has not passed. If the starting date is after 14 February, the target moves to the following year. The count is in whole calendar days and includes 29 February when a leap day falls in the range. On 14 February itself the countdown is zero, the weekday is that year's weekday, and the days since the last Valentine's Day is also zero.
Formula
days until Valentine's Day = the next 14 February minus the starting date, in calendar days. weeks = days / 7. If the starting date is after 14 February, use 14 February of the following year. days since the last Valentine's Day = the starting date minus 14 February of the current year, or of the previous year if 14 February has not yet arrived.
Worked example
From 1 November 2026 there are 105 days until 14 February 2027, which is 15 weeks. That date is a Sunday. The last Valentine's Day before 1 November 2026 was 14 February 2026, 260 days earlier. On 14 February 2026 the countdown is zero and that date is a Saturday. From 26 December 2026 the next target is 14 February 2027, because the 2026 date has passed.

Frequently asked questions
Does the count include today?
No. It counts whole days between the start of the starting date and the start of 14 February. From the morning of 1 November you have 105 full days to reach the morning of 14 February.
Is Valentine's Day on the same date in every country?
14 February is the common date in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and much of Europe. Some countries celebrate a different day for romance, such as Dia dos Namorados on 12 June in Brazil, so this page follows the 14 February date.
How is the weekday calculated?
The weekday comes from the Gregorian calendar and is independent of the time zone because the input is a plain calendar date. The table shows the next six years so you can see how the weekday moves by one day in a common year and by two across a leap year.
Can the answer be negative?
The countdown is never negative: after 14 February the page targets the following year. The days since the last Valentine's Day is never negative either, because it looks back to the most recent 14 February.
