Halakhah for Nedarim 121:4

ת"ש דתניא פלוגתא דרבי יהודה ורבנן (ויקרא כה, י) וקדשתם את שנת החמשים שנה שנת החמשים אתה מונה ואי אתה מונה שנת חמשים ואחת מכאן אמרו יובל אינו עולה למנין שבוע רבי יהודה אומר יובל עולה למנין שבוע

therefore we are taught [otherwise].

Sefer HaChinukh

From the laws of the commandment is that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Sabbatical Year and the Jubilee 10:16-17) that everything that is forbidden from work on the land in the seventh year is [also] forbidden on the Jubilee; and everything that is permitted on [the one] is permitted on [the other]. And the liability for one who does [forbidden work] is the same in both of them. The seventh [year] is more than the Jubilee in that it releases [loans], and specifically at its end. And the Jubilee is more than the seventh [year] in that it releases land and removes slaves at [its] beginning. And the Jubilee year does not count in the tally of the years of the seven-year cycle. Rather we count forty-nine years, which are seven times seven years; and after the sabbatical year, which is in the last seven-year cycle, we make the Jubilee in the fiftieth year; and we begin to tally for [the next] Jubilee in the fifty-first year. And it is [also] the beginning of the six years of the seven-year cycle (see Nedarim 61a).
