Calendar Quarters in 2027
Businesses, schools and planners often split the year into four quarters of three months each. Here is how the quarters of 2027 line up, with the US federal holidays that fall in each one.
| Quarter | Months | Days | US federal holidays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | January to March | 90 | New Year's Day (Jan 1), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan 18), Presidents' Day (Feb 15) |
| Q2 | April to June | 91 | Memorial Day (May 31), Juneteenth (Jun 19, day off Jun 18) |
| Q3 | July to September | 92 | Independence Day (Jul 4, day off Jul 5), Labor Day (Sep 6) |
| Q4 | October to December | 92 | Columbus Day (Oct 11), Veterans Day (Nov 11), Thanksgiving Day (Nov 25), Christmas Day (Dec 25, day off Dec 24), New Year's Day 2028 (day off Dec 31) |
Q1 is always the shortest quarter because of February: 90 days, or 91 in a leap year. Q3 and Q4 are the longest, with 92 days each. When a holiday falls on a weekend, federal workers get the nearest weekday off, shown above as the "day off".
Fiscal Quarters and Calendar Quarters
Not every year starts in January. The US federal government's fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30, and it is named after the year it ends in. Fiscal year 2027 started on October 1, 2026 and ends on September 30, 2027.
| Federal fiscal quarter | Months | Same months as |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | October to December | Calendar Q4 |
| Q2 | January to March | Calendar Q1 |
| Q3 | April to June | Calendar Q2 |
| Q4 | July to September | Calendar Q3 |
Many companies, schools and nonprofits pick their own fiscal year, so check which one your team uses. To print a fiscal quarter, choose its first month above, for example October for federal Q1.
Ways to Use a Three Month Calendar
A few ideas to get you started. Each button sets up the calendar for you, and you can change anything after.
Plan the next quarter at work
Put the launch dates, reviews and deadlines for the quarter on one page and keep it next to your screen. When all 13 weeks are in view, it is easy to spot the week where three things are due at once, and move one of them earlier.
A 90-day goal
Ninety days is long enough to build a habit or finish a project, and it is roughly three months. Any three months in a row have 89 to 92 days, so the whole plan fits on one page, give or take a day. Write your goal as the title, then cross off each day you work on it. A long row of crossed-off days is a good push to keep going.
Summer at a glance
June, July and August on one page works well for families. Mark camps, swim lessons, trips and visits, then put it on the fridge where everyone can see it. Turn on popular days and Flag Day and Father's Day show up without any typing.
A term or trimester at school
Many schools split the year into terms or trimesters that last about three months. Lay out the first day, tests, project due dates and breaks, and print a big copy for the classroom wall on Tabloid or A3 paper.

Printing Tips for a 3 Month Calendar
- Landscape or portrait. Landscape puts the three months side by side, the classic quarterly layout. Portrait stacks them one under the other, and each day box gets wider.
- Go big for the wall. Choose Tabloid (11 x 17 in) or A3 for an office wall planner. Everything on the page grows with the paper.
- Room to write. Holiday names are listed under each month instead of inside the boxes, so the space in every day is yours.
- Print at 100%. If an edge gets cut off, choose "Fit to page" in the print window. Our guide on how to print a calendar covers the other settings.
3 Month Calendar FAQ
