Which fiscal quarter a date falls in.
Free to use, no sign-up required. Quarter of Year is one of 198 tools built into Xenition, alongside a chat that can use them for you.
Tells you which quarter a date falls in, for the calendar year or for a fiscal year that starts in any month. Used for reporting periods, tax deadlines and budget planning.
The tool counts how many months the date is after the fiscal-year start month, divides by 3 and adds 1. Each quarter is three consecutive months from that start. For a non-January start, the year label shows the two years the fiscal year spans, named from its start year.
15 February 2026 is Q1 2026 (Jan–Mar) on a calendar year. With an April start it is Q4 FY25/26 (Jan–Mar), and 10 November 2026 with an October start is Q1 FY26/27 (Oct–Dec).
The US federal fiscal year starts on 1 October, so October, November and December are its first quarter. Choose October under Fiscal year starts in to match.
April in the UK and India, July in Australia, and October for the US federal government. Many companies simply use the calendar year.
You do not have to open Quarter of Year to use it. Ask Xenition in plain language and it runs the right tool, then carries the answer into whatever you are working on — a document, a spreadsheet, a deck.
