Quick answer
A fiscal year is usually named for the calendar year it ends in, and each quarter is three months from the start date. The US federal FY runs October 1 to September 30 (Q1 = Oct–Dec), India's FY April 1 to March 31 (written FY 2026-27), the UK personal tax year April 6 to April 5, and Australia's July 1 to June 30.
Examples
| Date (preset) | Fiscal year, quarter | Days left after date |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 9, 2024 (US federal) | FY 2024, Q4 | 21 |
| Oct 8, 2026 (US federal) | FY 2027, Q1 | 357 |
| Jun 1, 2026 (India) | FY 2026-27, Q1 | 303 |
| Apr 5, 2027 (UK tax year) | 2026/27, Q4 | 0 |
| Jul 22, 2026 (Australia) | FY 2026-27, Q1 | 343 |

Summary
Calculate fiscal-year details for any date: the fiscal year in end-year (FY 2027), start-year (FY 2026) or split (FY 2026-27) form, the fiscal quarter and month, a seven-day period count, inclusive progress and a full Q1–Q4 schedule. Presets cover the US federal year (October 1), most US states (July 1), the UK government year (April 1) and UK personal tax year (April 6), India (April 1, with assessment year), Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and others; a custom start day handles years that begin mid-month. Organization-specific 52/53-week and 4-4-5 calendars use different rules.
How it works
- Pick a date (defaults to today) and a preset, or choose a custom start month and day.
- The tool finds the 12-month period that contains the date: it starts on the most recent start date on or before the selected date.
- Fiscal month n runs from the start day of month n to the day before the same day of the next month (UK tax months run 6th to 5th); quarters are fiscal months 1–3, 4–6, 7–9 and 10–12.
- Days elapsed include the selected date; days remaining count the days after it through the fiscal year end. 366-day years are handled from the actual dates.
- The label is shown in the chosen style, with the other common spellings (and the Indian assessment year) listed beneath.
Use cases
- Determine which fiscal quarter a transaction or event falls into for reporting.
- Find the start and end dates of a US federal fiscal year or quarter for grants and contracts.
- Work out the UK tax year and tax month for a payment date (6 April to 5 April).
- Label Indian financial-year and assessment-year periods correctly (FY 2026-27, AY 2027-28).
- Plan budget cycles by knowing exactly how many days remain in the fiscal year.
