civil year

civil year
   a year as measured by the conventional (Gregorian) calendar, equal to 365 days in most years but 366 days in a leap year. See year2. This is the same unit as the calendar year (see above). Both names are often used to specify years beginning with January 1, as opposed to a fiscal year beginning on some other date.
