Introduction to Wikipedia

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. The current year, 1996, is a leap year starting on Monday in the Gregorian calendar. The last such year was 1968 and the next such year will be 2024 in the Gregorian calendar^[1] or, likewise, 1980 and 2008 in the obsolete Julian calendar.

Any leap year that starts on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday has two Friday the 13ths: those two in this leap year occur in September and December. Common years starting on Tuesday share this characteristic.

Additionally, this type of year has three months (January, April, and July) beginning exactly on the first day of the week, in areas which Monday is considered the first day of the week. Common years starting on Friday share this characteristic on the months of February, March, and November.

Gregorian Calendar

Leap years that begin on Monday, along with those starting on Saturday and Thursday, occur least frequently: 13 out of 97 (≈ 13.402%) total leap years in a 400-year cycle of the Gregorian calendar. Their overall occurrence is thus 3.25% (13 out of 400).

Julian Calendar

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).
