| Juche Template:Lang |
1997-present | Current era | 1912 (Kim Il-sung's birth date) is designated as the first year and has been used since 1997. |
The North Korean government and associated organizations use a variation of the Gregorian calendar with a Juche year based on April 15, 1912 CE, the date of birth of Kim Il-sung, as year 1. There is no Juche year 0. The calendar was introduced in 1997. Months are unchanged from those in the standard Gregorian calendar. In many instances, the Juche year is given after the CE year, for example, 17 December 2025 Juche {{#expr:2025-1911}}. But in North Korean publications, the Juche year is usually placed before the corresponding CE year, as in Juche {{#expr:2025-1911}} (2025).
