About the Ethiopian Calendar

The Ethiopian calendar, also known as the Ge'ez calendar, is Ethiopia's official civil calendar. It features 13 months: 12 months of exactly 30 days each, and a 13th month called Pagume with 5 days (6 in leap years). The calendar runs approximately 7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar, with Ethiopian New Year (Enkutatash) falling on September 11 (or September 12 in Gregorian leap years).

This full Ethiopian calendar shows all 13 months for any year. Each date displays both the Ethiopian day and its Gregorian equivalent. Holidays — religious, national, and cultural — are marked with colored dots. Click any date to see detailed holiday information. Use the year navigator to explore past and future years.
