But usually, financial quarters end on the last day of a calendar month and start on the first day of a calendar month. A fiscal or financial quarter takes 3 months, so it is approximately 91 days long, the same as the calendar quarter, dividing calendar months into 4 equal sets.
Historical Origin of Calendar Quarters
Calendar quarters approximately match 4 seasons. The starts of calendar quarters roughly correspond to 2 equinox and 2 solstice days, when the plane of Earth's equator maximally aligns or excurses with the center of the Sun's disk (ecliptic).
