New Year Countdown Formula
Countdown is calculated from current date and New Year date:
Time Difference = New Year Date - Current Date
Days = floor(Time Difference / (1000 × 60 × 60 × 24))
Hours = floor((Time Difference % (1000 × 60 × 60 × 24)) / (1000 × 60 × 60))
Minutes = floor((Time Difference % (1000 × 60 × 60)) / (1000 × 60))
Seconds = floor((Time Difference % (1000 × 60)) / 1000)
Example: Today is December 31, 2024 at 6:00 PM. New Year is January 1, 2025 at midnight. Time difference = 6 hours = 21,600,000 milliseconds. Days = 0, Hours = 6, Minutes = 0, Seconds = 0. The calculator updates every second for real-time countdown.
