Current Financial Year
About This Calculator
Wondering what financial year we are in right now? This page opens on today's date and answers it immediately, showing the current financial year along with its start and end dates, the quarter we are in, and how many days are left before it closes.
In India the financial year runs from 1 April to 31 March, so the current FY depends on the month. From April through December we are in the financial year that started this April; in January, February, and March we are still in the financial year that began the previous April, right up until it ends on 31 March. The calculator applies that rule for you, so you never have to second-guess the boundary around the new year.
Knowing the current financial year — and how much of it is left — matters for tax-saving investments, spending against an annual budget, hitting sales or savings targets before year-end, and getting paperwork filed in the right year. The days-remaining figure doubles as a gentle countdown to 31 March.
Although the page defaults to today, it is a full calculator: enter any date to check which financial year it falls in, past or future. The quarter is shown too (Q1 is April–June), which is handy for quarterly reporting.
Everything is computed privately in your browser and anchored to a timezone-safe date, so the answer is stable and repeatable. To break the year down differently, the financial year calculator focuses on any chosen date, the days between dates calculator counts days to your own deadline, and the UK, Australian, and US year calculators cover those countries' different year boundaries.

Formula & Methodology
The result is worked out as follows:
FY = the year window containing the date; progress = days elapsed ÷ total days
The current financial year is the 1 April – 31 March window containing today: the year starting this April if today is on or after 1 April, otherwise the year that started last April. Days remaining counts from today to 31 March.
