The days of the week, starting with Sunday, have indices 0,1,..,.,6. The months of the year, starting with January, are numbered 1,2,...,12. The following pattern holds for common (non-leap) years.

FORMULA

I(n) = I + a(n) (mod 7), n=1,..,.,12, with I the index of January 01 in a common (non-leap) year, and I(n) the index of the day of the week of the first day of the n-th month in this year.

EXAMPLE

In the year 2011 Jan 01 has index 6 (Saturday). Therefore, Feb 01 has index 6+3 = 2 (mod 7) (Tuesday), Mar 01 has also has index 2, Apr 01 has index 6+6 = 5 (mod 7) (Friday), etc.
