What ISO weeks are

An ISO week always starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Week 1 is the one that contains the first Thursday of the year, which fixes the count no matter which weekday January 1 falls on. Companies that plan by week number, from shipping to school terms, rely on that consistency so that every planner agrees which dates belong to week 2.

Using week numbers

Quote a week number instead of a date when the exact day is flexible: deliveries expected in week 2, holidays in week 2, or a sprint review in week 2. Check that everyone uses the same system, because some calendars count Sunday as the first day of the week and number the weeks differently. Where in doubt, confirm with the date range shown here.

How the calendar works

The Gregorian calendar has twelve months of 28 to 31 days. A normal year has 365 days and a leap year has 366, with the extra day added to February in every year divisible by four except century years that are not divisible by 400. Because 365 is one more than 52 weeks, most dates move forward one weekday each year and two after a leap day. Weeks are numbered under ISO 8601, which starts weeks on Monday and gives week 1 to the week containing the first Thursday of January.
