Palindrome Date Calculator

Quick answer

The palindrome date calculator finds the next dates that read the same forwards and backwards – like 12/02/2021 or 2030-03-02 – in the US (MM/DD/YYYY), European (DD/MM/YYYY) or ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) format.

Palindrome dates are rare with four-digit years – there are only a few each century in any one format – and are popular wedding dates. Because the format changes the digits, a date can be a palindrome in the US format but not in the European one. The search runs in your browser.

How it works

Choose the start date, the date format, two- or four-digit years and how many dates to list.

Tips

  • Check whether the end date should be included – event durations usually include it, elapsed time does not.
  • Months have 28–31 days, so “one month” is counted by calendar date, not as 30 days.
  • Use 24-hour time or set AM/PM carefully when entering clock times.
  • Time zones and daylight-saving changes are not applied unless the calculator says so.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Counting a 30-day month when a calendar month is meant (or the reverse).
  • Forgetting leap years when counting days across February.
  • Mixing decimal hours (7.5 h) with clock time (7:30).

Formula

A date is a palindrome when its digits, written without separators, read the same in both directions (e.g. 12022021)
