Why is the week number different in some apps?

Many apps (like those in the US) start the week on Sunday and count the first week differently. This tool uses the **International ISO-8601 Standard**, where the week always starts on Monday and Week 1 is the week containing the first Thursday of the year.

Can a year have 53 weeks?

Yes. While most years have 52 weeks, about 17.5% of years have 53 weeks. This happens when the year starts on a Thursday, or a Wednesday in a leap year.

Does the week always start on Monday?

Yes, according to the ISO standard used by businesses worldwide, Monday is the first day of the week (Day 1) and Sunday is the last (Day 7).

Why does my Dec 31 result show Year 2025?

In the ISO system, if Dec 31st falls in the first week of the following year, the 'ISO Year' is reported as the next year.
