The US Federal fiscal year starts October 1 of one year and runs until the end of September the following year. For example: US Federal FY 2017 started on 1 October 2016 and ends on 30 September 2017.Budgets are established such that Money received during that period is counted as income for that period and money allocated for that period can only be spent during that period. There are, of course, instances where money is allocated during one fiscal year and then banked for use over a longer period extending past the end of the fiscal year.

State governments and many private companies will align their fiscal years with that of the Federal government, but some will choose other beginning and ending dates. The most common alternative is to align the fiscal year with the calendar year.

What is fiscal month?

A month in a fiscal year... if you are thinking about what's the Fiscal year?... READ ON a year of 52 weeks is a fiscal year.. different regions and countries use different standards.. for instance, US fiscal year starts from OCT, but for UK the FY starts @ APR different regions follow their own standards.. but in a general patteren a set of 52 years is a fiscal year... and any month within that year is fiscal month.. BUT... a fiscal month is not like a set of 30/31 days.... from the start of the fiscal year a set of 13 weeks is a quarter.. which in turn is a set of 3 months .. 4 weeks months and a 5 week month... Mathematically... 13*4 = 52 4+4+5 = 13 Typically, a year starts off with the first Monday.. and counts up to the next 28 days to make a set of 4 weeks .. your first month.. continue next 28 days for your second month... the remaining 5 weeks in the quarter make your 3rd month... 52=4+4+5+4+4+5+4+4+5+4+4+5 I don't think there is any specific name for each of the month.. but you can denote using the usual month since ages like APR, JUL, OCT
