365-day calendar

365-day calendar

A 365-day calendar consists of exactly 365 days per year (no leap days), and is primarily used in computer models [Such as in the NetCDF CF conventions – http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/eaton/cf-metadata/CF-current.html#cal] and as an assumption in every-day calculations. For example, a calculation of a daily rate may use an annual total divided by exactly 365.

Interest rates in some banks are calculated using a 365-day calendar. [cite web |title=Determining Bond and Treasury Bill Prices and Yields |publisher=Government of Canada Securities, Department of Finance |url=http://www.fin.gc.ca/invest/bondprice-e.html ]
