How It Works
The tool works by calculating the difference in days between your selected date and the nearest quarterly target date. Quarterly target dates are fixed as March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Here’s the simple formula behind the magic:
1. The tool identifies the four quarterly dates for the year of your selected date.
2. It then compares your date to these quarterly dates to find the nearest one.
3. Finally, it calculates the difference in days between your date and the nearest quarterly date.
| Selected Date | Nearest Quarterly Date | Difference (Days) |
|---|---|---|
| 2023-04-15 | 2023-06-30 | 76 |
| 2023-07-10 | 2023-09-30 | 82 |
| 2023-11-01 | 2023-12-31 | 60 |
