About Leap Day (February 29)
- Leap years: divisible by 4, with a century exception

- Leaplings legally age up March 1 in most of the US
Read the detail
February 29 exists only in leap years: years divisible by 4, except century years unless they are divisible by 400. So 2028 and 2032 are leap years, 2100 is not, and 2000 was. The extra day keeps the calendar aligned with the 365.2422-day solar year; without it, the seasons would drift by about a day every four years.
People born on February 29 ('leaplings') legally turn a year older on March 1 in most of the US and on February 28 in the UK, New Zealand and Hong Kong. Salaried workers effectively work the day for free; hourly workers get an extra paid day.
