Professional Date Calculation Tips

Leap Year Awareness

Leap years occur every 4 years (except century years not divisible by 400). This adds an extra day every 4 years, affecting long-term calculations.

Business Day Standards

Standard business days are Monday-Friday. Most financial markets operate on this schedule, excluding weekends and major holidays.

Time Zone Considerations

For international calculations, consider time zones. Financial markets may have different trading days based on local holidays.

Precision in Financial Calculations

For interest calculations, exact day counts matter. Use actual/365 or 30/360 day count conventions as required.
