Formula

ISO 8601: weeks start on Monday; week 1 is the week containing January's first Thursday

Example

2026-01-01 falls in ISO week 1 of 2026.

Why week numbers differ between calendars

The ISO standard (used across Europe and by most software) starts weeks on Monday and assigns week 1 to the week containing the year's first Thursday. The US convention instead numbers weeks from Sunday with week 1 starting Jan 1, which can disagree by one — this calculator follows ISO.

Frequently asked questions

How many ISO weeks does a year have?

52, occasionally 53 — a 53-week year happens whenever Jan 1 falls on a Thursday (or Wednesday in a leap year).
