How it works
What this calculator does
This tool takes any calendar date and tells you exactly which day of the week it falls on, from Monday through Sunday. Whether the date is in the distant past or far in the future, the result appears instantly.
It is handy for confirming the weekday of a birthday, a historical event, a contract deadline, or a planned trip without flipping through a calendar.
How the weekday is determined
Every date in the Gregorian calendar maps to a fixed weekday following a repeating seven-day cycle. The calculator applies the standard calendar rules, including leap years, so the answer is always accurate.
Because the weekday name is shown in your own language by the browser, the result matches your regional settings automatically.
