Year-Beginning Comparison
Historical year-beginning comparison
Compare how the same Gregorian day would be labeled in jurisdictions that used September 1, March 25, March 1, or January 1 civil year openings.
This page shows the Gregorian reference first and JDN second. JDN remains the stable shared day count behind all of these labels, so jurisdictions can still be compared without losing the exact underlying day.

Each row resolves the same Gregorian input against a different jurisdiction so you can compare both the local label and the year-opening rule side by side.
