  1. Use the week that starts on Monday

    Monday is weekday 1. Sunday is weekday 7. A week number that starts on Sunday is a different system. This page will not produce that number.

  3. Pick the civil date

    The date is YYYY-MM-DD. Clock time does not move the week. 1 January 2026 is Thursday, weekday 4, and it is 2026-W01.

  4. Read the ISO year separately from the calendar year

    Week 1 is the week that contains the year's first Thursday. 1 January 2021 is a Friday, so it stays in 2020-W53. 30 December 2024 is a Monday in 2025-W01.

    1 Jan 2021 is 2020-W53. 30 Dec 2024 is 2025-W01.
    1 Jan 2021 is 2020-W53. 30 Dec 2024 is 2025-W01.
  5. Copy the label and the weekday

    The label looks like 2020-W53. The weekday is a number from 1 to 7. A spreadsheet that wants a Sunday-start week cannot use this label as-is.

  6. Check one Thursday you already know

    The first Thursday of the year is inside week 1. If 1 January is a Thursday, that date is weekday 4 of week 1 of the same year, as 2026-01-01 is 2026-W01.
