Technical notes
Leap Year Calculator applies the Gregorian rule — a year is a leap year if divisible by 4, except centuries, which must be divisible by 400 — so the year has 366 days (February 29) or 365.
Calculations use the calendar only and do not adjust for time-zone shifts unless a field asks for a zone.
All arithmetic runs in your browser using double-precision floating point, so extreme inputs may show tiny rounding differences.
FAQ
What makes a year a leap year?
A year is leap if it is divisible by 4, except century years, which must also be divisible by 400 — so 1900 is not a leap year but 2000 is.
How many days does the year have?
A leap year has 366 days with 29 days in February; a common year has 365 days with 28 days in February.
Does it work for any year?
Enter any whole year and it applies the Gregorian leap-year rule to tell you whether the year is leap.
Does the Leap Year Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Leap Year Calculator runs entirely in your browser — your inputs never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded or stored.
Worked example
2024 is a leap year (divisible by 4 and not a non-400 century), so February has 29 days; 1900 was not a leap year.
