New Year Countdown Calculator
``javascript
function daysUntilNewYear() {
const today = new Date();
const currentYear = today.getFullYear();
const newYear = new Date(currentYear + 1, 0, 1); // January 1 next year
const diffTime = newYear - today;
const diffDays = Math.ceil(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
const daysInYear = ((currentYear % 4 === 0 && currentYear % 100 !== 0) ||
currentYear % 400 === 0) ? 366 : 365;
const daysPassed = daysInYear - diffDays;
return {

hoursRemaining: diffDays * 24,
percentYearComplete: ((daysPassed / daysInYear) * 100).toFixed(1) + '%',
