Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ISO week number?

The International Standard ISO 8601 numbering of weeks. Week 1 is the week containing the year's first Thursday, and weeks run Monday to Sunday.

Why is December 29 sometimes in week 1 of next year?

If the last week of the year has 4 or more days in the new year, those days belong to the new year's week 1.

Can a year have 53 weeks?

Yes, about once every 5-6 years, when January 1 falls on a Thursday (in a common year) or Wednesday (leap year).

Does the week start on Sunday?

In the ISO system, weeks start on Monday. Some regions use Sunday-based numbering — this tool follows ISO.

Practical Example

January 1, 2026 is a Thursday, so it belongs to ISO week 1 — the week running from Monday, December 29, 2025 through Sunday, January 4, 2026. Because January 1 falls on a Thursday in a common year, 2026 has 53 ISO weeks, and Thursday, December 31, 2026 falls in week 53.

  • Enter January 5, 2026 to confirm the shift into week 2, the Monday after week 1 ends.
