A 365-day calendar consists of exactly 365 days per year (in common years), and is primarily used in computer models [1] 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. [2]
The International Fixed Calendar (also known as the Cotsworth plan, the Cotsworth calendar, the Eastman plan or the Yearal) [1] was a proposed reform of the Gregorian calendar designed by Moses B.

For example, "11 December 1999" can be written in some contexts as "1999345" or "99345", for the 345th day of 1999. [17]

With 97 leap years every 400 years, the Gregorian calendar year has an average length of 365.2425 days. Other formula-based calendars can have lengths which are further out of step with the solar cycle: for example, the Julian calendar has an average length of 365.25 days, and the Hebrew calendar has an average
A common year is a calendar year with 365 days, as distinguished from a leap year, which has 366 days. [1] More generally, a common year is one without intercalation.The Gregorian calendar (like the earlier Julian calendar) employs both common years and leap years to keep the calendar aligned with the tropical year, which does not contain an exact number of days.
