The Balanced French Calendar by Walter Ziobro takes the complementary days of the French Republican Calendar and distributes them among the quarters, in a very similar way to the Universal Celestial Calendar, in the following sequence (thus "balancing" each quarter nearly equally):
| Day or Month | Length | Start |
|---|---|---|
| Day of Virtue | 1 day | 001 |
| Vendemiaire | 30 days | 002 |
| Brumaire | 30 days | 032 |
| Frimaire | 30 days | 062 |
| Day of Talent | 1 day | 092 |
| Nivose | 30 days | 093 |
| Pluviose | 30 days | 123 |
| Ventose | 30 days | 153 |
| Day of Labour | 1 day | 183 |
| Germinal | 30 days | 184 |
| Floral | 30 days | 214 |
| Prairial | 30 days | 244 |
| Day of Convictions | 1 day | 274 |
| Messidor | 30 days | 275 |
| Thermidor | 30 days | 305 |
| Fructidor | 30 days | 335 |
| Day of Honors | 1 day | 365 |
| Day of Revolution (leap day) | 1 day | 366 |
Traditionally, the French Republican Calendar used 10-day weeks. In this form either 10-day weeks or 7-day weeks can be used. Although this is not a leap week calendar, this arrangement forms quarters of whole 7-day weeks, whether considered from the preceding or following complementary days. This causes every third month within any one calendar year to begin on the same day of week.
There have been several leap year rules proposed for the French Republican Calendar, because the original decree for the calendar was unclear. If it is desired to link this calendar to the current Gregorian Calendar, I recommend having the leap day occur whenever necessary to have January 1 and Nivose 11 fall on the same day. If this rule is followed then the first day of Vendemiaire would always fall on September 22.
