It’s October and you’re still saying “I’ll start my New Year resolution when…” Pause. This calculator is about to humble you by showing exactly how many days you have left to achieve those goals you set in January. Spoiler: not many.

What this does: Shows you a live countdown to December 31st of any year you choose. Days, hours, minutes. It’s ticking. Right now. While you’re reading this. Yes, that’s the sound of opportunity slipping away. Dramatic? Maybe. True? Absolutely.

How to use it (and face reality):

The calculator opens with the current year already selected. But you can pick any year from now through the next decade if you’re a planner like that. Choose your year from the dropdown.

Immediately, you see four boxes counting down. Months left. Days left. Hours left. Minutes left. Below that, a progress bar showing how much of the year is already gone. Watching that bar fill up hits different when you realize you’re at 82% and you’ve achieved maybe 12% of your goals.

But wait, there’s more suffering… I mean features:

The calculator breaks down your remaining time into categories. Total days left (duh). Total hours left (scary). Weekdays remaining (for the hustlers). Weekends remaining (for the “I’ll rest and plan” people who never actually plan).

When you need this:

December is approaching and your family keeps asking about your progress this year. You need ammunition. "I still have 47 weekdays" sounds better than "I still have time." Your friend is panicking about hitting their target. Show them this. Either they'll feel motivated or they'll panic harder. Both are entertaining.

Real scenario: It's mid November. You promised yourself you'd save 500k this year. The calculator says you have 6 weeks left. Quick math says you need to save about 83k per week. Either you're finding that money or you're adjusting your goals. The calculator doesn't judge. It just presents the facts.

The motivation messages at the bottom change based on how much time is left. When you're down to 30 days, the calculator starts getting aggressive with the encouragement. "Make every moment count!" it screams. It's not wrong though.
