Fiscal calendars that match your books, not the wall
Monthly, quarterly, and yearly templates for the fiscal year your business actually runs on — not just January through December. Built for accountants, controllers, FP&A teams, and budget planners who close on a different schedule than the calendar.
Browse fiscal calendars by country
Every country runs its fiscal year differently. The United States federal government starts on October 1; the United Kingdom uses April 6 for personal tax and April 1 for government accounting; Australia and many Asia-Pacific economies start in July; India and Canada align on April 1. Pick a country to see its fiscal year structure, public holidays mapped onto the fiscal calendar, and ready-to-print monthly and quarterly templates labelled by fiscal month (FM1–FM12) and fiscal quarter (Q1–Q4).
Quick monthly templates
Each monthly template renders the calendar grid in fiscal-year context — labelled FM1 through FM12 for the country you choose, with public holidays highlighted in the grid and printable in black on plain paper. Use the Sunday-start week convention (US standard) or fold to a Monday-start grid via your browser's print settings.
Pay period planners
The US federal pay calendar runs on 26 biweekly pay periods per year, anchored to the OPM-published schedule. We turn that schedule into a clean year-at-a-glance reference with start, end, and payday for every period — useful for any business that mirrors federal pay-period conventions or that runs payroll on a Sunday-start, biweekly cadence.
Quarterly budget tracker templates
Quarter-level views combine three consecutive monthly grids on one page. Each quarterly template shows the three fiscal months in calendar order with all public holidays highlighted, plus a header strip showing the FM range, total business days, and the quarter's role in the planning cycle (open, reforecast, defend, close).
Guides for budget planners
Background reading on how fiscal years work, why they differ across countries, and how to map them onto your own books — written for finance teams, controllers, and operations managers.

Why a fiscal calendar is not a calendar calendar
If your fiscal year ends June 30, the calendar on your wall is lying to you about which quarter it is. Q1 starts in July, not January; year-end falls in early summer; and budget planning windows land in spring while the rest of the world is thinking about Q2 of the calendar year. FiscalGrid exists because accountants, controllers, and operations managers shouldn't have to mentally translate every date.
We compile fiscal year start dates, public holidays, and pay period schedules from public sources — including the US Office of Personnel Management's pay-period administration data, the US Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service datasets, the Wikipedia list of fiscal year start dates by country, and Wikidata's structured holiday records — and render the result as plain HTML that prints cleanly on standard letter and A4 paper. No login. No popups. No app to install.
