What is today’s date in numbers?
| MM-DD-YYYY | — |
|---|---|
| DD-MM-YYYY | — |
| YYYY-MM-DD | — |
| MM/DD/YYYY | — |
| DD/MM/YYYY | — |
In the United States, month–day–year (MM-DD-YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY) is the most common. Many other countries use day–month–year (DD-MM-YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY). For systems and international teams, YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601) is the safest choice.
Today’s date — quick FAQ
Does this auto-update?
Yes. The page refreshes values every minute and rolls over automatically at your local midnight.
Which time zone does it use?
It uses your device’s current time zone and clock. If the date looks wrong, enable automatic time and time zone.
What is ISO 8601?
It’s an international standard for dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It avoids ambiguity across countries.
How are week numbers calculated?
We show the ISO week number (weeks start on Monday). Some years have 53 ISO weeks; we display “of 52” or “of 53” accordingly.
How this page figures out today (and why it’s reliable)
When you just need the date — no settings, no dropdowns — this page gives you the answer instantly. The headline is locked to American English so it always reads like Tuesday, October 28, 2025, regardless of where the visitor is browsing from. That choice keeps language consistent across screenshots, documentation, and customer support replies, while the ISO line right below (YYYY-MM-DD) stays universally safe for systems and international teams.
Everything happens in your browser. We never send your time, time zone, or location anywhere. The script reads your device clock, computes the current date, and updates itself every minute. That means the display smoothly flips at your local midnight without a page reload. If you ever see a wrong value, it almost always means the device clock is off — enabling automatic time and time zone fixes it.
You’ll notice two compact facts under the headline. Day Number tells you where today sits in the year from 1 through 365 (or 366 in a leap year). It’s helpful for progress tracking — for example, Day 200 means you’re a little over 54% through the year. Week Number uses the ISO week-date system, where weeks start on Monday and Week 01 is the week containing January 4. Most years have 52 ISO weeks, but some have 53; we detect that and show the correct total automatically.
Why both a natural language date and an ISO string? Human-friendly text like “Tuesday, October 28, 2025” is easy to read out loud and paste in a note. ISO 8601 — “2025-10-28” — avoids ambiguity across regions where 10/12 might mean October 12 or December 10. If you’re coordinating across countries or pasting into a spreadsheet, ISO is the safest default.
If you work in documentation, social media, or customer support, a predictable English output matters. With the formatting pinned to en-US, teammates in London or Stockholm will still see “Tuesday” and “October,” not translations. Yet the calculations remain local to the visitor’s time zone, so the moment their clock reaches midnight, the headline flips to the new date on its own.
The small calendar provides quick context without trying to replace your primary calendar app. Use the arrows to move by month; today is outlined so your eye lands instantly. Because we render a simple grid with semantic markup, it stays fast on phones and works well with assistive tech.
Below the calculator, you’ll find a numeric formats table. Many forms and internal tools still ask for specific orders and separators. We display five common representations side by side — MM-DD-YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, plus the slash-separated US and international styles — so you can copy exactly what you need with one glance.
Finally, the two linked labels — Day Number and Week Number — jump to deeper pages that explain each concept, show how the numbers are computed, and provide additional utilities. Keep this page pinned for the headline answer, and use those links whenever you want the details behind the numbers.
