What year is it according to other calendars?

Julian calendar

The Julian calendar is almost the same as the Gregorian calendar, it’s just about 13 days behind.

This is because Julian calendar has leap years every four years, while in the Gregorian calendar, leap years happen every four years except for centuries that are not divisible by 400.

Meaning the Julian calendar has three too many leap days every 400 years.

You wouldn’t think that one exception would be very significant, but it makes the Julian year 11 minutes and 14 seconds longer than the Gregorian one making Julian calendar about 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar.
