Does quarterly mean every three months or every four months?
Quarterly means every three months — four times a year — because it divides the year into four quarters. The confusion comes from the "four" hiding inside "quarter," but a quarter of a year is three months, so quarterly payments, reports, and meetings happen four times annually.
What months do quarterly periods cover?
In a standard calendar year, the quarters run January–March (Q1), April–June (Q2), July–September (Q3), and October–December (Q4). Quarterly deadlines therefore usually fall at the end of March, June, September, and December, though companies using fiscal years may set different quarter boundaries.
