This comprehensive guide provides a detailed overview of Apple's fiscal calendar and payment dates for app developers, with data extending into the fiscal year 2026. Apple's fiscal year typically spans 364 days, divided into four quarters, each consisting of one 35-day fiscal month and two 28-day fiscal months, with an additional week added approximately every five years to align with the standard calendar year. Developers are generally paid 33 days after the end of a fiscal month, though there are occasional exceptions, such as early payments for the November fiscal month. The guide includes instructions for adding relevant dates to a Google Calendar and emphasizes the importance of staying updated with potential changes, as Apple's official payment schedules are not publicly available.
