About the South Korea fiscal year

South Korea's national fiscal year (회계연도) runs January 1 to December 31. The National Assembly adopts the budget by December 2 each year. Korean corporations typically follow the same cycle.

For accountants and budget planners working on this calendar, the fiscal year runs from January 1 through December 31. The first fiscal month (FM1) corresponds to January; the fourth quarter ends on the last day of December. Year-end close, audit windows, and budget kickoff all anchor to those dates rather than to January and December. For a deeper introduction to fiscal-year mechanics, see our primer on fiscal years and the historical background on why fiscal years differ across countries.

Below you'll find printable monthly templates for every fiscal month, quarterly breakdowns, the country-specific deadline schedule, and a holiday calendar mapped onto the fiscal year so you can see where each public holiday falls relative to your reporting cycle.

Key fiscal deadlines — South Korea

These are the recurring statutory and operational dates that drive the South Korea fiscal calendar. Use them as fixed anchors when scheduling close milestones, audit walkthroughs, board meetings, and budget reviews.

Planning tips for South Korea

• Year-end close concentrates in the final 2 fiscal months; resource planning should reflect this.
• Map public holidays onto fiscal months early — non-business days impact close calendars and accruals.
• Compare your fiscal calendar to vendor and customer calendars when negotiating annual contracts.

Choose a fiscal year

FY labels follow the year-start convention: a fiscal year is identified by the calendar year in which it begins. Each link opens the full year-at-a-glance with all twelve fiscal months on one page.

Monthly templates

Each printable monthly template uses the standard Sunday-start week grid with South Korea public holidays highlighted. Click through to print or save a clean copy. Templates are labelled FM1–FM12 in fiscal-year order, not calendar-year order.

Quarterly breakdowns

Each quarter spans three fiscal months. Quarterly templates are useful for board reporting, mid-year reforecasts, and quarter-end variance reviews.
