Learn how to use the Number of Days in a Year Calculator and understand leap year calculations

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter a year in the input field (e.g., 2023, 1900, 2000)
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to determine if the year is a leap year and how many days it contains
  3. The calculator will display whether the year is a leap year and show the total number of days

Understanding Leap Years

A leap year has 366 days (instead of the normal 365) to help synchronize the calendar year with the solar year (the time it takes Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun).

Leap Year Rules:

  • The year is evenly divisible by 4
  • Except for years that are evenly divisible by 100
  • Unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400

For example:

  • 2000 was a leap year (divisible by 400)
  • 1900 was not a leap year (divisible by 100 but not by 400)
  • 2020 was a leap year (divisible by 4)
  • 2023 is not a leap year (not divisible by 4)
