Conversion Between Julian-1 and Gregorian Calendars

Converting dates between the Julian-1 and Gregorian calendars can get tricky due to the confusing rules of leap year dates that differ between the two calendars.

Note that in the Julian-1 and proleptic Julian-1 calendars, years after 1 AD are evenly divisible by four are leap years. Examples are 4, 8, 12, 16, etc. In the years prior to 1 AD, and remember that there is no year zero in the calendar, if you add one year to a BC year and it can be divided evenly by four, then it's a leap year. 1 BC + 1 = 0, which is a leap year. 2 BC + 1 = -1, which is not a leap year. 3 BC + 1 = -2 and is not a leap year. 4 BC is not a leap year because 4 BC + 1 = 3, which is not divisible by four. 5 BC is a leap year since 5 BC + 1 = -4.

In the Gregorian calendar, the rules of leap years are more complex. A Gregorian year is a leap year on every year after 1 AD that is evenly divisible by four, except for the years that are divisible by 100 but not in turn divisible by 400. For example: 1600 and 2000 were leap years. 1700, 1800, 1900 were not leap years. 2100, 2200, 2300 are not going to be leap years. 2400 will be a leap year. In the years prior to 1 AD, and again, the Gregorian calendar has no year zero, you need to add one year to a BC year to get a chronological math number that can be easily used. Convert a BC year to a math number by adding 1 year to it. Examples: 1 BC + 1 = 0, which is divisible by 4 and 400. 2 BC + 1 = -1, which is not divisible by four and is not a leap year. 5 BC + 1 = -4, which is divisible by four and is a leap year. 101 BC + 1 = -100 is divisible by 100 but not by 400, so therefore, it's not a leap year. 401 BC + 1 = -400 is a leap year since it's divisible by 400.

When converting from Gregorian to Julian-1 dates, first, understand that you use February 29 on all years divisible by four (or BC numbers converted to a math number) to count backwards to a date. So, to convert March 1, 2100 Gregorian to a Julian-1 date, you count back 14 days beginning on this March 1 date, with March 1 counted as a count of zero, then February 29 is counted one, February 28 is counted two, February 27 is counted three, February 26 is counted four, and so forth until you count to 14 and reach February 16, 2100 Julian-1 date. From March 1, 2100 Gregorian date to February 28, 2200, you go back 14 days from the date to get to the Julian-1 date, and remember, there is a February 29 every four years on the Julian-1 calendar.

Here's a chart I created to help out.
