Have you ever wondered what day of the week you were born on? Or what day a major historical event—like the moon landing or the start of the last century—actually occurred? While it seems like a trivial question, finding the day of the week for any date requires a precise algorithm.

The Algorithm Behind the Weekday (The Doomsday Rule)

Finding the day of the week for any date is possible because the seven-day cycle is consistent and unbroken. Algorithms like the famous "Doomsday Rule" provide a mathematical way to pinpoint the weekday for any date in history.

Top Reasons to Check a Weekday

The Weekday Calculator is a simple yet powerful tool for unlocking answers to specific, curiosity-driven questions:

• Personal Milestones: Easily determine the day of the week for your next wedding anniversary, future retirement date, or past birth date.
• Historical Verification: Historians and researchers often use this to verify the accuracy of old documents or timelines.
• Future Planning: Use it to determine if a holiday falls on a Friday or a Monday for better long-weekend planning.
