Why 2024 has 52 weeks

An ISO week year has 53 weeks when 1 January falls on a Thursday, or when the year is a leap year whose 1 January falls on a Wednesday. Every other year has 52. Because 52 weeks is only 364 days, the calendar has to absorb the leftover day or two somewhere, and a 53-week year is where it does that. Payroll systems, retail reporting and production planning all trip over this, because a 53-week year has one extra reporting period.

The year boundary

The first and last weeks of an ISO year rarely line up with the calendar year. Week 1 of 2024 starts on 1 Jan, and 1 January 2024 belongs to week 1 of 2024. This is not an error in the calendar: it follows directly from the rule that week 1 is the week containing the first Thursday, which keeps every week whole and every week in exactly one year.

Other years

The same calendar for 2020 to 2035. Years with 53 weeks are marked.

Frequently asked questions

How many weeks are in 2024?

2024 has 52 ISO 8601 weeks. A year has 53 weeks when it starts on a Thursday, or when it is a leap year starting on a Wednesday; otherwise it has 52.

Which week is 1 January 2024 in?

1 January 2024 falls in ISO week 1 of 2024.

Which week is 31 December 2024 in?

31 December 2024 falls in ISO week 1 of 2025. That week already belongs to 2025, because most of it sits in the next year.

When does an ISO week start?

On Monday. ISO 8601 defines the week as running Monday to Sunday, and week 1 as the week containing the first Thursday of the year, which is the same as the week containing 4 January. That is why an ISO week calendar can open in late December.
