Leap year starting on Tuesday

A leap year starting on Tuesday is any year with 366 days (i.e. it includes 29 February) that begins on Tuesday, 1 January, and ends on Wednesday, 31 December.

Any leap year that starts on Tuesday has only one Friday the 13th; the only one in this leap year occurs in June.

Common years starting on Wednesday share this characteristic.

Leap years that begin on Tuesday, along with those starting on Wednesday, occur at a rate of approximately 14.43% (14 out of 97) of all total leap years in a 400-year cycle of the Gregorian calendar.

Like all leap year types, the one starting with 1 January on a Tuesday occurs exactly once in a 28-year cycle in the Julian calendar, i.e. in 3.57% of years.
