Frequently Asked Questions

Is 1900 a leap year? Is 2000?

1900 is not (century not divisible by 400); 2000 is (divisible by 400). The rule: divisible by 4, except century years, except centuries divisible by 400 — the tool applies all three clauses.

Why does the century exception exist?

Earth's orbit is 365.2422 days, not 365.25 — the century skip corrects the 11-minute yearly drift. Without it, calendars would slide a full day every 128 years.

Do I need this for birthday planning?

For 29 February birthdays: the tool confirms which years actually contain the date, so milestone parties land on real calendar days.

Does checking years send data anywhere?

No — the check runs entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
