Understanding the Gregorian Calendar

Our modern calendar—known as the Gregorian calendar—is the international standard for tracking days and years. Introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, it replaced the Julian calendar to better align with the solar year, minimizing seasonal drift.

A standard Gregorian year has 365 days, while leap years add an extra day in February to keep the calendar in sync with Earth’s orbit. This correction ensures that annual events like equinoxes and holidays occur at consistent times each year.

Most of the world now uses the Gregorian calendar for civil, business, and scientific purposes. It’s the foundation for LiteCalc’s date calculations, ensuring your results reflect today’s universally accepted timekeeping system.

U.S. Holidays and Business Days

In the United States, federal holidays influence how business days are calculated. Days like New Year’s Day, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving are recognized nationwide, often excluded from work schedules and official business calendars.

Our business-day calculator feature helps you plan around weekends and public holidays automatically. This is ideal for payroll, project deadlines, and delivery planning where workdays—not total days—matter most.

Federal holidays in the U.S. typically include New Year’s Day (January 1), Memorial Day (last Monday in May), Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day (first Monday in September), Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November), and Christmas (December 25). Using LiteCalc, you can account for these automatically or adjust custom holidays as needed.
