Just 1. The ground floor.
Ground floor is 1st floor.
I've never seen an elevator using any other way of counting floors, so I think the buttons on an elevator are a pretty convincing piece of evidence to figure this out. But then, I've also never been on an elevator outside of the US. However, I do believe Otis was the first elevator and they started in the US, so the way we do it is the correct way. 😤

In Europe (at least in the places I visited), the ground floor is 0 and the floors below that are -1, -2, ... and above are 1, 2, ... which makes more sense in my opinion
