53-week calendar

The 53-week calendar is a variation of the Gregorian calendar that is used (mainly) in government and business for fiscal years, as well as in timekeeping. In this calendar, the year does not necessarily end on a specific day (e.g., January 31 or December 31). The year does, however, end on a day of the week (e.g., the last Friday in December). Therefore, weeks and months of equal length are allowed to exist. A year can have a total of 371 days.
