How it works

Persian (Jalali) date → Samaritan date (calendar-system conversion)

Enter a date in the Persian (Jalali) calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Samaritan calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Enter the complete Persian (Jalali) date — day, month, and year.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    We anchor each system's epoch, then convert day by day — Persian (Jalali): the Persian year ≈ 2026 − 621 = 1405; Samaritan: a 13th leap month lands 7 times in each 19-year cycle.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Read the exact Samaritan date: a year spanning 353–385 days, counted month by month.

Use Cases

Verify a converted Samaritan date

Check any Samaritan date you were given against its Persian (Jalali) origin: enter the Persian (Jalali) date here and compare; a mismatch of a day or more usually means someone applied an average-year shortcut somewhere upstream.

Track Persian (Jalali) occasions on the Samaritan calendar

Keep Persian (Jalali) anniversaries, religious dates, and deadlines visible in Samaritan terms: the same Persian (Jalali) date lands on a different Samaritan date every year, so each occurrence is reconverted rather than advanced by one year.

Tips

  • 1

    Persian (Jalali) and Samaritan dates do not map one-to-one — the two systems start from different epochs and count leap years differently, so enter the full Persian (Jalali) date and read the Samaritan equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.

  • 2

    Watch century boundaries and very old dates in the Persian (Jalali)–Samaritan system: historical calendars dropped or added days when they were adopted, which is invisible in daily use but material for long-range historical calculations here.

  • 3

    Leap rules differ between the calendars behind Persian (Jalali)–Samaritan, so a span that looks like whole years in one system can land a day or two off in another; trust the converted result rather than a fixed mental offset.

Common Mistakes

  • Reversing the direction is a silent trap: converting from the Samaritan calendar back to the Persian (Jalali) calendar needs the inverse relation, and off-by-one errors cluster at month boundaries where the systems disagree. Verify the round trip returns your original date.

  • The Persian (Jalali) and Samaritan calendars differ in year length and leap pattern, so a fixed-day offset — 365, 354, any memorized constant — drifts the Samaritan date badly. Convert the complete date so both leap rules apply.

How accurate is the result of persian (jalali) to samaritan date converter?
