Common year starting on Saturday

A common year starting on Saturday is any non-leap year (i.e. a year with 365 days) that begins on Saturday, 1 January, and ends on Saturday, 31 December. Its dominical letter hence is B. The most recent year of such kind was 2022 and the next one will be 2033 in the Gregorian calendar or, likewise, 2023 and 2034 in the obsolete Julian calendar. See below for more.

Any common year that starts on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday has only one Friday the 13th: the only one in this common year occurs in May. Leap years starting on Friday share this characteristic.

From July of the year that precedes this year (In this case, 2021, which was the most recent common year to start on a Friday) until September in this type of year is the longest period (14 months) that occurs without a Tuesday the 13th. Leap years starting on Wednesday share this characteristic, from August of the common year that precedes it (Common year starting on Tuesday) to October in that type of year.
