The Leap Year Effect

Leap years, occurring every four years (with exceptions for century years not divisible by 400), add an extra day to February. This extra day can shift the day of the week for July 5th in future or past years. Our calculator automatically accounts for leap years, ensuring accurate results. It’s worth remembering that while a leap year occurs roughly every four years, the rules make it slightly more complex. A year is a leap year if it’s evenly divisible by 4, unless it’s also divisible by 100. However, century years are considered leap years if they’re divisible by 400. This keeps our calendar in harmony with the Earth’s orbit.
