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 automatically uses this calendar to report estimated and actual payments.
