Every Day the Earth gains more time. It is only about three minutes that are gained each day, after the winter solstice.
The amount of daylight gained varies depending on your location and the time of year. Generally, around the time of the spring equinox, many places in the Northern Hemisphere can gain approximately 2 to 3 minutes of daylight each day as the days lengthen. This increase continues until the summer solstice, after which daylight begins to decrease again. For specific details, it's best to check local sunrise and sunset times.
Daylight increase is not a linear function. It is very low at each solstice and equinox, slowly increases to mid term and then decreases again. Latitude also needs to be taken into account.
After the shortest day of the year, which typically occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere, daylight gradually increases.

By the end of January, this can amount to approximately an extra hour of daylight compared to the shortest day. The exact increase can vary by location.
To calculate the number of daylight minutes since December 21, you'll need to determine the number of days that have passed since that date and the average increase in daylight each day. Since December 21 is the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, days gradually get longer afterward. By mid-April, daylight has increased significantly, with the exact number of minutes varying by location. You can find the precise duration by checking local sunrise and sunset times for your area.
