New Year can belong to the previous ISO week-year
January 1, 2027 is day 1 of calendar year 2027 but belongs to ISO week 53 of week-year 2026.
Try the example in the calculator above. Change one input at a time and compare the target, interval and selected rules. For a longer explanation read Reading a Year Calendar: Leap Days, Weekdays and ISO Weeks.
Conventions to keep with your result
Weekday totals exclude Saturdays and Sundays but do not automatically exclude public holidays. Gregorian rules are applied consistently rather than reconstructing historical local calendar transitions.
