How this calculator works?
Between two date To calculate the number of quarters between two dates, compare the years and months of both dates. Each year has four quarters, so you can easily calculate the total quarters by considering the difference in years and adjusting for the months.
Adding quarters Adding quarters to a specific date allows you to calculate quarters forward in time by adding a certain number of quarters to a given date. The quarter’s calculator adjusts the month and year accordingly, keeping the day the same unless it results in an invalid date.
Quarters = (Later Year − Earlier Year) × 4 + (Quarter Difference Between Months)
Adding quarters Adding quarters to a specific date allows you to calculate quarters forward in time by adding a certain number of quarters to a given date. The quarter’s calculator adjusts the month and year accordingly, keeping the day the same unless it results in an invalid date.
New Date = Starting Date + (Number of Quarters × 3 Months)
Subtract quarters
Subtracting quarters from a specific date option allows you to move backward by removing a certain number of quarters from a given date. Like adding quarters, it adjusts the month and year while keeping the day the same unless it results in an invalid date.
New Date = Starting Date − (Number of Quarters × 3 Months)
For example: Start Date: January 15, 2022 – End Date: January 15, 2023 (2023 − 2022) × 4 + (Q1 − Q1) = 4 quarters.
