How accurate are these Eid al-Fitr dates?

The dates shown are widely-published astronomical calculations based on the predicted crescent moon. The actual date is confirmed by local moon sighting shortly before the holiday and may shift by a day from the calculated estimate shown here.

Why does Eid al-Fitr fall earlier each year?

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan on the Islamic lunar calendar, which is about 354 days long, roughly 10 to 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year. This causes the Gregorian date to shift earlier each cycle.

Why do some countries celebrate Eid al-Fitr on a different day?

Countries and communities confirm the start of the new lunar month by local moon sighting or by following a specific authority's announcement, so the observed date can differ by a day between regions even for the same calculated estimate.

What time zone does the countdown use?

The countdown uses your device's local date and time, so it reflects your own timezone automatically.

Are dates available beyond 2031?

The tool currently covers 2025 through 2031. Dates further out carry more uncertainty in the underlying astronomical calculation and will be added as estimates are published.
