Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work for dates in the past or far future?

Yes — any valid calendar date can be entered, and the day of the week is computed directly from the Gregorian calendar, so past and future dates both work the same way.

What does "ISO Week" mean?

It's the ISO-8601 week number (1–53), where week 1 is the week containing the year's first Thursday and weeks run Monday to Sunday — a different convention from a plain "week since Jan 1" count.

How is Day of Year calculated?

Day of Year is the number of days since January 1st of that same year, plus 1 — so January 1st itself is day 1, and December 31st is day 365 (or 366 in a leap year).
