Weekday Calculator
Find what day of the week any date falls on — past, present, or future. Enter values for instant results with step-by-step formulas.
Formula
ISO Week Number = 1 + floor((OrdinalDate - weekday + 10) / 7)
The day of the week is determined by the Date object's internal calendar calculations. The ISO week number is computed by finding the Thursday of the current week (since ISO weeks are defined by their Thursday), then counting the number of weeks from January 4 of that year (which is always in ISO Week 1). The day of year is the count of days elapsed since January 1.
