Epoch year

…starts on weekday

The epoch fixes the weekday of day 1 of the epoch year; every other date is counted from it.

Months

Base length of each month — i.e. the length in the base year type. Year types override individual months below.

Year types

Per-month boxes override the base length for that month in this year type. Blank = inherit base. ★ marks the fallback year used when no rule matches.

Intercalation rules ↓ first match

Read top-down; the first rule a year satisfies sets its type. Gregorian: ÷400→leap, else ÷100→common, else ÷4→leap, else base.
