The year progress percentage is calculated by dividing the current day number by 365 and multiplying by 100. Today is day 95 of 2026, which means 26% of the year is complete and 74% remains.

- Total days in 2026: 365 (2026 is not a leap year) - Total weeks: 52 weeks and 1 day - 2026 starts on Thursday, January 1st and ends on Thursday, December 31st - Approximate working days (Mon–Fri): 261 before public holidays - Full weekends: 52

Research in time perception psychology shows that the later in the year we are, the faster time feels. This is partly due to the 'holiday compression effect', as we anticipate major events in Q4 (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas), the weeks between them feel shorter. Tracking your year progress as a live percentage is one way to counteract this distortion and stay grounded in how much time you actually have.
