What is a Julian date calendar?

A “Julian date calendar” is a reference table that maps each calendar date to its day of the year — the ordinal “Julian date” used in manufacturing, food packaging and IT. January 1 is 001 and December 31 is 365 (or 366 in a leap year). These charts are widely printed and pinned up in production, warehouse and lab environments for quick lookups.

Avoid the most common lookup error

Do not reuse a common-year table for a leap year. January and February agree, but every date from 1 March onward is one day later in a leap year. For example, 1 March is day 060 in a common year and day 061 in a leap year. A year is a leap year when it is divisible by 4, except century years unless they are also divisible by 400.

Because leap years add a day at the end of February, the numbers from March onward differ between common and leap years. Each yearly calendar here is generated for that specific year so the values are always correct. Prefer a single perpetual chart? Use the non-leap day-of-year chart or the leap-year chart.
