International Fixed Calendar Reddit 8-Day Week Calendar

The International Fixed Calendar, one of the numberous proposed calendar reforms, solves many of these issues:

  • The first day of every month starts on Sunday. The calendars are the same each year.
  • Each month is the same length (28 days), other than June and December, which have 29 days.
    • December always has 29 days, while June has 29 days every leap year.
  • The calendar has 13 months, with a new month, Sol, inserted between June and July, representing the Summer Solstice.

Unfortunately, the Calendar stopped being used in 1989. Find more information about the life and death of the calendar here.


Posted in the r/lightbulb subreddit, this calendar sports 8 day weeks, with each month having 32 days, except December, which only has 13 in common years, or 14 in leap years.

Bonusday is the 8th day of the week, the day after Saturday. This creates a 3 day weekend between Saturday and Sunday while also maintaining the 5-day work week.

Because the week is 8 days long, starts on Sunday, and each date of each month is the same day of the week, there are no Friday the 13ths. However, there would be Friday the 13ths if the first day of the week was Monday.
