A leap year starting on Monday is any year with 366 days (i.e. it includes 29 February) that begins on Monday, 1 January, and ends on Tuesday, 31 December. Its dominical letters hence are GF, such as the years 1720, 1748, 1776, 1816, 1844, 1872, 1912, 1940, 1968, 1996, 2024, 2052, 2080, and 2120 in the Gregorian calendar[1] or, likewise, 2008, 2036, and 2064 in the obsolete Julian calendar.
Any leap year that starts on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday has two Friday the 13ths. This leap year contains two Friday the 13ths in September and December. Any common year starting on Tuesday shares this characteristic.

Gregorian Calendar[]
Leap years that begin on Monday, along with those that start on Saturday or Thursday, occur least frequently: 13 out of 97 (≈ 13.402%) total leap years of the Gregorian calendar. Their overall occurrence is thus 3.25% (13 out of 400).
Like all leap year types, the one starting with 1 January on a Monday occurs exactly once in a 28-year cycle in the Julian calendar, i.e. in 3.57% of years. As the Julian calendar repeats after 28 years that means it will also repeat after 700 years, i.e. 25 cycles. The year's position in the cycle is given by the formula ((year + 8) mod 28) + 1).
