The Ethiopian calendar in your ERP
ELIF's ERP shows and prints dates in the Ethiopian calendar alongside the Gregorian one, so staff, auditors and the Ministry of Revenue each see the date they expect.
What is today's date in the Ethiopian calendar?
It is shown at the top of this page and changes at midnight Addis Ababa time.
Why is the Ethiopian calendar 7 or 8 years behind?
It counts its years differently, so it is 7 years behind from 11 September to 31 December and 8 years behind from 1 January to 10 September.
How do I convert an Ethiopian date to Gregorian (EC to GC)?
Enter the Ethiopian day, month and year and press Convert. To estimate by hand: the Gregorian year is the Ethiopian year + 7 from Meskerem 1 (11 September) to 31 December, and + 8 from 1 January to the end of Pagume; the exact day needs the converter.
How do I convert a Gregorian date to Ethiopian (GC to EC)?
Choose the Gregorian → Ethiopian tab, pick the date and press Convert. By hand: subtract 7 years from 11 September to 31 December and 8 years from 1 January to 10 September.
What do E.C. and G.C. mean?
E.C. is the Ethiopian calendar (Amharic ዓ.ም., Amete Mihret) and G.C. the Gregorian or European calendar (Amharic እ.ኤ.አ.), the one used in most of the world.
