How to calculate Reiwa from the Gregorian calendar

To calculate Reiwa from the Gregorian calendar year, first take the last two digits of the year and then subtract 18 from them.

Last two digits of the year − 18 = Reiwa

For example, for next year's year 2025, the last two digits of 2025 are 25, so 25 - 18 = 7, which gives us the answer Reiwa 7.

The mnemonic for Reiwa is 018 (Reiwa), which makes it easy to remember to subtract 18.
