Tips for Use:

  • Use drop down menu to select month and enter 4 digit year (from 0000 to 9999). Then click "Build".

  • Use   <    to back up the calendar one month; use    <<   to back up the calendar one year.

This calculator uses the Gregorian calendar. Be aware of when the calendar was changed from Julian to Gregorian in the country for which you are performing the calculation and make any necessary adjustment. See the change from Julian to Gregorian calendar by country.

For those wishing accurate Julian Calendar days, there is a standard reference book which has been used by historians and academics all over the world for 60 years - A Handbook of Dates: For Students of English History



Ideas for Use:


  • Sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint an exact date of an event when you are reading an historic newspaper. If the newspaper is dated January 9, 1899 and states a person died the previous Thursday, use the perpetual calendar to find Thursday's date.

  • Use the calendar to flesh out your family history story. It makes the story more interesting to know not just the date but also the day of each event. You may be surprised to find weddings and baptisms on days we consider non-traditional.
