Frequently asked questions

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

Yes. Calculations are based on Gregorian calendar rules, including leap years, so you can find the correct weekday for any date — past, present, or future.

Why does the same date fall on a different weekday every year?

A regular year has 365 days (52 weeks + 1 day), so the same date shifts forward by one weekday the next year; a leap year has 366 days (52 weeks + 2 days), so it shifts by two.

Can I check in advance if a birthday or anniversary falls on a weekend?

Yes. Enter the date and the weekday is shown immediately, so you can plan ahead based on whether it lands on a weekend or weekday.
