Check if a year is a leap year.
Is Leap Year
Determine whether a given year is a leap year.
How it works
A leap year occurs every 4 years, with some exceptions:
- Rule 1: If a year is divisible by 4, it's a leap year
- Rule 2: EXCEPT if it's divisible by 100, then it's NOT a leap year
- Rule 3: EXCEPT if it's divisible by 400, then it IS a leap year
This calculator returns:
- Is Leap Year: Whether the year is a leap year
- Days in Year: 365 for regular years, 366 for leap years
- Days in February: 28 for regular years, 29 for leap years
Use cases
- Calendar applications
- Date validation
- Age calculations involving February 29
- Financial calculations requiring exact day counts
- Historical date verification
Examples
- 2024: Leap year (divisible by 4)
- 2025: Not a leap year
- 2000: Leap year (divisible by 400)
- 1900: Not a leap year (divisible by 100 but not 400)
- 2100: Not a leap year (divisible by 100 but not 400)
