Fiscal Year = 12-Month Period Beginning on the Selected Fiscal Start Month

What Is a Fiscal Year Calculator?

A Fiscal Year Calculator identifies the fiscal year that contains a particular date. Unlike a calendar year, a fiscal year does not necessarily begin on January 1.

Businesses and organizations may use different 12-month accounting periods for budgeting, financial reporting, planning, and internal analysis. This calculator allows you to select the starting month instead of assuming a single fiscal calendar.

Example:

Fiscal year starts: July 1, 2026
Fiscal year ends: June 30, 2027

Using end-year naming, this period is FY 2027.

Fiscal Year vs Calendar Year

A calendar year always runs from January 1 through December 31. A fiscal year is also generally a 12-month period, but its starting and ending months can differ from the calendar year.

Type	Start	End	Example Label
Calendar Year	January 1, 2026	December 31, 2026	2026
July Fiscal Year	July 1, 2026	June 30, 2027	FY 2027
October Fiscal Year	October 1, 2026	September 30, 2027	FY 2027

How Are Fiscal Quarters Calculated?

A standard 12-month fiscal year can be divided into four three-month fiscal quarters. The first quarter begins with the organization's selected fiscal start month.

Q1: Fiscal months 1–3
Q2: Fiscal months 4–6
Q3: Fiscal months 7–9
Q4: Fiscal months 10–12

Example:

If the fiscal year begins in July:

Q1 = July–September
Q2 = October–December
Q3 = January–March
Q4 = April–June

What Is a Fiscal Month?

A fiscal month describes a calendar month according to its position within a fiscal year. The month in which the fiscal year starts is fiscal month 1.

For example, if a fiscal year starts in April, April is fiscal month 1, May is fiscal month 2, and March of the following calendar year is fiscal month 12.

How Are Fiscal Years Named?

Fiscal-year naming conventions can differ between organizations. A common approach is to identify the fiscal year by the calendar year in which the period ends.

For consistency, this calculator uses the ending-year method. Therefore, a July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 period is displayed as FY 2027.

Note:

Always check the reporting convention used by the specific business, government agency, school, or organization you are working with, because naming practices can vary.
