ISO Week Number Calculator

Quickly find the ISO 8601 week number for any date in past or future years. While standard calendars divide the year into months, many businesses, governments, and manufacturing industries plan their operations using week numbers (W01–W53).

Understanding ISO 8601

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets the global standard for week numbering:

  • Week 1: The week containing the first Thursday of the year (or Jan 4th).
  • Start Day: Weeks always begin on Monday.
  • Duration: Years have 52 or 53 weeks (leap weeks).

Regional Differences

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Europe / ISO (Most Common) Starts Monday. First week has at least 4 days in new year.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ USA / Canada Often starts Sunday. Week 1 contains Jan 1st. (Note: This tool uses the ISO standard).
πŸ•Œ Middle East Often starts Saturday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does December sometimes have Week 1? β–Ό
Under ISO rules, if Dec 29, 30, or 31 falls on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, those days might belong to Week 1 of the next year because the majority of the week is in January.
When does a year have 53 weeks? β–Ό
A leap week (W53) occurs when a year starts or ends on a Thursday (or a leap year starting Wednesday). This happens roughly every 5-6 years to keep the calendar aligned with the solar year.
