Calculate School Year

Calculate which school year a date falls into. Includes progress, remaining days, and percentage of the school year.

In which school year does a date fall?

In the Netherlands, a school year runs from August 1 to July 31. With this school year calculator, you can immediately calculate:

  • To which school year a date belongs
  • How far along the school year is
  • How many days are left
  • The progress percentage

When do you use this tool?

This calculation is useful for:

  • Administration of educational institutions
  • Student finance
  • DUO applications
  • School enrollments
  • Internship periods
  • Subsidy or budget years

How is the school year determined?

  • Date between August 1, 2025 and July 31, 2026 → School year 2025–2026
  • Date between August 1, 2026 and July 31, 2027 → School year 2026–2027

The tool automatically detects the range within which your chosen date falls.

Why is this important?

The school year differs from the calendar year. Much educational administration, subsidies, and study regulations are linked to the school year and not to the calendar year.
