Frequently asked questions
Why is week 1 defined by the first Thursday of the year?
The ISO 8601 standard defines week 1 as the week containing the year's first Thursday (equivalently, the week containing January 4) — this ensures each week is assigned to the year that contains most of its days.
Can the week year differ from the calendar year?
Yes — a date in late December can fall in "week 1" of the following year, and a date in early January can fall in the last week of the previous year, under ISO 8601 rules.
Do all countries use this week-numbering system?
ISO 8601 (Monday-start weeks, first-Thursday rule) is widely used internationally, including in most of Europe and in many business/scheduling contexts in India, though the US commonly uses a different (Sunday-start) week convention.
