Week Number Calculator

Find Your ISO Week Number in Seconds

Need to know what week of the year a specific date falls on? The ISO Week Number Calculator instantly converts any date into its corresponding ISO week number—completely free, no registration required.

What Is an ISO Week Number?

An ISO week number is the international standard for counting weeks throughout the year, defined by ISO 8601. Unlike traditional week numbering that varies by country, ISO weeks always run Monday through Sunday, with Week 1 being the first week containing a Thursday. This standardization makes it essential for global business operations, project management, supply chain coordination, and international data reporting.

For example, January 1, 2026 falls in Week 1, while December 31, 2026 falls in Week 52. The ISO year sometimes differs from the calendar year because weeks don't align with month boundaries.

Data Analysis: Data scientists and analysts use ISO weeks to aggregate sales data, traffic patterns, and performance metrics on a standardized weekly basis, enabling accurate year-over-year comparisons.

Broadcasting and Media: TV networks, streaming services, and content creators use ISO weeks for programming schedules and viewership tracking across global markets.
