Date Converter

How the Geez date converter works

Choose a date and its calendar, and the same day appears in the other calendar, with the weekday and the Hijri date. Use the swap button to convert the other way. The conversion runs in your browser, and it handles every date from 1900 to 2100, including the sixth day of Pagume in a leap year.

Birthdates, forms and documents

Many people need a Geez birthdate in the Gregorian calendar, or the other way around, for school, family records or application forms. Enter the date as it is written on your document, convert it, and compare the result. The converter is a convenience tool and not an official record, so confirm the date with the organization that asked for it.

Common questions

How do I convert a Geez date to a Gregorian date?

Choose Geez as the calendar, enter the day, month and year, and the Gregorian date appears next to it.

Why is the Geez year 7 or 8 years behind?

The Geez calendar follows the older Alexandrian calculation of the year of the birth of Jesus Christ. Its year changes on Meskerem 1 (usually September 11), so the gap is 7 years from September to December and 8 years from January to September.

Is my date sent to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser.

What is Pagume?

Pagume is the 13th month of the Geez calendar. It has 5 days, or 6 days in a leap year.
