The Laefevian calendar, natively known as Skaljêrili trêat, is the calendar used in Laefevia. It is a solar calendar with 365 days in a common year and 366 days in a leap year. The calendar is fixed on the spring equinox, or 20th March in Gregorian calendar. The calendar was created in 2359 BCE and took effect in 2357 BCE. Therefore, the current year is 4372, which is also the 1061st leap year.
Months
There is a total of 13 months in the calendar, 12 of which have 30 days and one has 5 days, or 6 days in a leap year. However, the days of the 13th month are spread throughout the year and inserted between the dates of other months, because they are tied to the solstices and equinoxes. Originally the days of the 13th month were supposed be adjusted for each year, but the practice has fallen out of use soon after the implementation of the calendar, and the days now have a fixed position in the calendar, even though the actual time of the solstices and equinoxes changes.

The 13th month is the month where a leap day is added in leap years.
Weeks
A Laefevian week consists of 6 days, of which 4 are work days and 2 are work-free days (generally). Since each month is 30 days long, there are 5 week in every month, not counting the 13th month. Every month thus begins on the same day.

Ráskint (the 13th month)
The 13th month behaves differently from the other months. Its days have special names and are spread throughout the calendar, inserted between other days of the regular months. Four of the days in the 13th month designate the solstices and equinoxes, and the remaining day is the last day of the year (the last two days in a leap year).

Leap years
The calendar observes leap cycles and leap years. A leap year occurs every 4 years, however, three leap years are removed from a period of 400 years, which is known as a leap cycle. The current year is the 1061st leap year. By the aforementioned calculations, it should be 1060th, however. This is because the calendar loses a day approximately every 3300 years, so the year 3400 AT was a leap year, even though it was supposed to be a common year.

Laefevian and Gregorian calendars correspondence
The Laefevian calendar begins on the 20 March in Gregorian calendar, and ends on the 19 March the following year. For example, the current year began on 20th March 2015 and it will end on 19th March 2016. Laefevian dates therefore always correspond to the same date in Gregorian calendar, except in leap years. This means that a common year, 13 éinint corresponds to 1st March, while in a leap year it corresponds to 29th February. All subsequent dates are therefore moved by one day forward in a leap year, and the Laefevian leap year ends on 6 ráskint, which corresponds to 19th March. In a common year, the Laefevian year ends on 5 ráskint, which again corresponds to 19th March.
