FAQ

Day of the year is the sequential number of a date starting from 1 (January 1) to 365 or 366 (December 31) depending on whether it is a leap year.

Yes — in leap years, February has 29 days, so the year has 366 days total. The calculator accounts for this automatically.

In a regular year the maximum is 365; in a leap year it is 366.
