How Apple’s Fiscal Calendar Year works, and how it affects App Store pay dates
Apple’s fiscal year is typically 364 days divided into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4), and each quarter typically includes one 35-day fiscal month and two 28-day fiscal months. But every five years or so, Apple adds an extra week to its fiscal year to keep it aligned with the 365-day calendar year (and 366-day leap year) — the last year like this was 2023.
Apple always pays 33 days after the end of the fiscal month (well, almost always*). This calendar color-codes those payment dates to make them easier to track.
*The November fiscal month sometimes gets paid early. I’m not quite sure if Apple does that to move revenue around to alter their quarterly financial results, or if it’s something less interesting.
Keep track of these dates using our Google Calendars: Fiscal calendar, Payment dates.
