  3. Review the converted date and calendar details.

How to verify the result

Check input units and reference dates first. For an important decision, compare the result with an official source or original document. A rounded display can differ slightly from the underlying value.

Frequently asked questions

What is a lunar leap month?

It is an extra month inserted in some years to keep the lunar calendar aligned with seasons. The leap-month flag matters because a month name can repeat.

Can every historical or future date be converted?

No. Conversion is restricted to the supported range of the bundled Korean lunar data.

Does a lunar birthday use the same Gregorian date every year?

No. Different month lengths and leap months cause the Gregorian date to change.
