Next Leap Year Calculator

Enter any year; the tool checks the Gregorian leap-year rule, lists the next 5 leap years (with years-from-now), the most recent prior leap year, plus the next century non-leap (e.g. 2100, 2200) and the next year divisible by 400 (e.g. 2400). Useful for Feb-29 birthday planning and long-horizon project scheduling.

Starting year

2026

Not a leap year (365 days)

Previous leap year
Next century non-leap (divisible by 100, not 400)
Next year divisible by 400 (always leap)

Next 5 leap years

    Uses the Gregorian rule: divisible by 4 is a leap year, except divisible by 100 must also be divisible by 400. 1900, 2100, 2200 are not leap; 2000 and 2400 are.

    Formula

    leap ⇔ (year mod 4 = 0 AND year mod 100 ≠ 0) OR (year mod 400 = 0)

    Frequently asked

    Is 2100 a leap year?

    No. 2100 is divisible by 4 (500 × 4 = 2100) but also by 100, and 2100 ÷ 400 = 5.25 is not an integer — so 2100 is *not* a leap year and February has 28 days. The same applies to 2200 and 2300. The next century year that *is* leap is 2400 (2400 ÷ 400 = 6, integer). Historically 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap; 1600 and 2000 were, because they are divisible by 400.

    How do people born on February 29 celebrate birthdays?

    Legal handling varies by jurisdiction. In most common-law countries (UK, US, Hong Kong) a person born on Feb 29 is generally treated as legally turning their age on Feb 28 or Mar 1 in non-leap years, with families free to celebrate on either date. Taiwanese civil law (§124) explicitly designates Mar 1 as the birthday in non-leap years. To plan a "real" birthday party, the tool's "next 5 leap years" list shows every upcoming year that actually contains a Feb 29.

    Why is the leap-year rule so complex? Why not just every 4 years?

    A tropical year is actually 365.2422 days, not 365.25. A pure every-4-years rule (the Julian calendar) averages 365.25 days, overshooting by ~ 11 min 14 sec per year and drifting ~ 1 day every 128 years. After 1,500-odd years of Julian use, the spring equinox had slipped from Mar 21 to Mar 11, disrupting the Catholic Church's computation of Easter. In 1582 Gregory XIII issued the Gregorian reform: skip 10 days (Oct 4 was followed by Oct 15) and revise the rule — century years not leap, but div-by-400 years still leap — giving 365.2425 days/year and cutting the drift from 1 day per 128 years to 1 day per ~ 3,300 years.
