This free anniversary gift calculator for couples shows exactly how many days you have been together, when your next anniversary milestone is, and the traditional gift for every year.
Tap any milestone to see the traditional gift details and ideas.
| Year | Name | Traditional Gift | Modern Gift |
|---|
Pick the date you got together and press Calculate. The calculator counts the full calendar days between that date and today, turns the total into weeks, months and years, shows your next anniversary milestone, and lists the traditional gift for each year.
The start date itself is not counted, so if you got together yesterday the answer is 1 day. Leap days are included, and each anniversary falls on the same calendar date as your start date.
Example: if you got together on 1 January 2020, you reached 100 days together on 10 April 2020, 1,000 days on 27 September 2022 and 2,000 days on 23 June 2025. Your 5th anniversary, on 1 January 2025, was day 1,827.
| Length of time | Number of days |
|---|---|
| 3 months | 89 to 92 days |
| 6 months | 181 to 184 days |
| 1 year | 365 days (366 in a leap year) |
| 2 years | 730 or 731 days |
| 5 years | 1,826 or 1,827 days |
| 10 years | 3,652 or 3,653 days |
| 25 years | 9,131 or 9,132 days |
The exact number depends on which months and how many leap years the period covers.
Every year from the 1st to the 15th has a traditional gift, and after that the list continues every five years. Lists differ a little between countries; this page uses the common UK list.

Enter the date you got together and press Calculate. The answer is the number of full days between that date and today, not counting the start date itself.
Yes. It uses real calendar days, so every 29 February in between is included.
Years are full anniversaries: you reach 1 year on the same date one year later. Months are shown using an average month length of about 30.4 days.
The 1st is paper, the 2nd cotton, the 3rd leather, the 4th fruit and flowers, the 5th wood, the 10th tin or aluminium, the 15th crystal, the 20th china, the 25th silver, the 30th pearl, the 40th ruby, the 50th gold and the 60th diamond. The full list is in the table above.
The next milestone is your next anniversary that has a named gift: every year from the 1st to the 15th, then the 20th, 25th and every fifth year up to the 70th.
