The North Korean Calendar or Juche Calendar is the system of year numbering used in the DPRK (North Korea).

History [edit]
The Juche Calendar was introduced in 1997 and is based on Kim Il Sung's date of birth: 15 April 1912. This year is used as Juche 1 and the system works forward from there. There is no Juche 0. The Juche Calendar does maintain the Gregorian Calendar's traditional months and the number of days in a month. Hence, to calculate the Juche year from a Gregorian year after 1912, simply subtract 1911.
Examples [edit]
| Juche Year | Gregorian Year | Dangun Year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1912 | 4245 |
| 51 | 1962 | 4295 |
| 100 | 2011 | 4344 |
| 101 | 2012 | 4345 |
| 102 | 2013 | 4346 |
Usage In Practice [edit]
DPRK [edit]
In many instances of non-Korean usage the Juche year is given after the corresponding Gregorian year i.e. 12 June 2007 (Juche 96). This is however technically incorrect, with most official DPR-Korean sources listing the Gregorian year second as in 12 June Juche 96 (2007). See the DPRK official page for a North Korean example.
Coincidences [edit]
The Juche Calendar uses the same numbering system as the Minguo calendar which is used in the Republic of China (Taiwan).
