# Apple's Fiscal & Payout Calendar 2021 - 2022

Apple, unlike other app stores, uses a custom payment calendar where months don't start on the 1st and don't end end 30/31 days later. Instead of using standard calendar months, Apple set up its own fiscal calendar and uses it to pay developers.

The [Payments Report](https://appfigures.com/reports/payments) automatically uses this calendar to report estimated and actual payments.
