Common mistakes

Forgetting leap years. In a leap year, the total is 366 days, which slightly shifts the percentage for the same calendar date compared to a non-leap year.
Confusing day-of-year with day-of-month. Day of year counts continuously from January 1st, not from the start of the current month.
