The Meyer-Palmen Solilunar Calendar is a proposal for calendar reform by Peter Meyer and Karl Palmen. It is a simple arithmetic lunisolar calendar. There are many leap month cycles like the 19 year cycle and the 353 year cycle. Peter Meyer discovered a cycle of years which nearly exactly fits a whole number of days, months and years and weeks. 6840 years and 84599 months and 2498258 days and 356894 weeks are all very equal to each other. This means that there should be 2519 leap years (with an extra month) and 1328 abundant years (with an extra day). To make it even simpler, the extra day added to form an abundant year is always in a leap month. This also reduces the possible lengths of a year making it only have 354 days, 384 days, or 385 days.

| - The Meyer-Palmen Solilunar Calendar is a proposal for calendar reform by Peter Meyer and Karl Palmen. It is a simple arithmetic lunisolar calendar. There are many leap month cycles like the 19 year cycle and the 353 year cycle. Peter Meyer discovered a cycle of years which nearly exactly fits a whole number of days, months and years and weeks. 6840 years and 84599 months and 2498258 days and 356894 weeks are all very equal to each other. This means that there should be 2519 leap years (with an extra month) and 1328 abundant years (with an extra day). To make it even simpler, the extra day added to form an abundant year is always in a leap month. This also reduces the possible lengths of a year making it only have 354 days, 384 days, or 385 days. The calendar has a fixed ordinal day number of the year for each date. The start of each year is based on the actual mean lunar conjunction nearest to the vernal equinox. Each month starts on the day of each lunar conjunction or closest to that. Each era consists of 6840 years. Each era begins with a Sunday (but this doesn't mean you can't start the week on Monday). Each odd-numbered month has 29 days and each even-numbered month has 30 days and the leap month has 30 or 31 days. The names and the lengths of the months are: This means that each month has 29.530585468 days and each year has 365.24239766 days. There are simply only 3 lengths of the year, 354, 384 and 385. In 6840 (Y) years 4321 (Y-L) years have 12 months and 2519 (L) of them have 13 months. All the 4321 (Y-L) years with 12 months have 354 days. In the 2519 (L) years with 13 months, 1191 (L-M) of them have 384 days and 1328 (M) of them have 385 days.
