These 53-week years occur on all years that have Thursday as 1 January and on leap years that start on Wednesday. The extra week is sometimes referred to as a leap week, although ISO 8601 does not use this term. Weeks start with Monday and end on Sunday.
But how many weeks are there in a year? Generally, there are 52 weeks and one additional day in a regular year. In a leap year, which occurs almost every four years, there are 52 weeks and two additional days.
If you're paid every other week and did not receive a check on Friday, you will receive three paychecks next month. For those paid on Fridays, your paydays will fall on August 1, 15, and 29.
2025 (MMXXV) is the current year, and is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2025th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 25th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 6th year of the 2020s decade.
As 2024 is a leap year there are 53 weeks (or 53 Mondays) in this financial year instead of the usual 52. This has implications for your rent and Universal Credit payments. It means your rent will be charged 53 times over the year, but your Universal Credit (UC) payments only cover 52 weeks.
The Gregorian Calendar has fifty-two full weeks and an extra day in a normal year, while a leap year has fifty-two weeks and two additional days. When you convert 52 weeks to days by multiplying by 7, the result is 364 days, which is one day short of the actual number of days.
In AD 321, Emperor Constantine the Great officially decreed a seven-day week in the Roman Empire, including making Sunday a public holiday. This later spread across Europe, then the rest of the world. In English, the names of the days of the week are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding one extra day in the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a tropical year by almost six hours.
