Every upcoming App Store payment date for iOS developers, mapped onto a calendar. All 24 payouts from July 2026 through July 2028, the fiscal month each one covers, and which months pay out bigger.
Apple pays on Thursdays, roughly 33 days after each fiscal month closes. Each card below shows the payment date on its calendar month and the fiscal month it covers.
Apple doesn't pay developers by calendar month. It pays by fiscal month, using the same 4-4-5 fiscal calendar Apple uses for its own financial reporting. Each fiscal quarter is split into two 4-week fiscal months followed by one 5-week fiscal month, and Apple's fiscal year starts in late September.
Once a fiscal month closes, Apple consolidates worldwide sales, converts them at that fiscal month's exchange rates, and issues payment roughly 33 days after the fiscal month ends. Payments consistently arrive on a Thursday, though your bank may take an extra business day or two to make funds available.
Because fiscal months are exactly 4 or 5 weeks long (28 or 35 days), they fall out of sync with calendar months. That's why one payout lands on July 30 and the next on September 3 — there is no "pay day of the month" with Apple. Bookmarking a schedule like this one is the only practical way to know when money actually arrives.
Note: these dates are projections based on Apple's fiscal calendar and historical payment behavior. Apple confirms exact dates and amounts in App Store Connect under Payments and Financial Reports. Payments are also subject to Apple's minimum payment threshold — balances below it roll into the next payment.
A payout schedule only matters once your app is live and earning. LastApp.ai takes you from idea to a native iOS app released on the App Store — including builds, testing on real simulators, App Store submission, and monetization — so these Thursdays start meaning something.

Apple pays roughly 33 days after the close of each Apple fiscal month, and payments consistently land on a Thursday. Because Apple uses its own fiscal calendar rather than calendar months, the payout date drifts from month to month — the calendar above lists the next 24 expected dates.
Apple runs on a 4-4-5 fiscal calendar: each quarter is two 4-week fiscal months followed by one 5-week fiscal month. Since fiscal months are 28 or 35 days long instead of calendar months, the fiscal month close date — and therefore the payout date — shifts around each month.
The last fiscal month of each Apple quarter contains 5 weeks (35 days) of sales instead of 4. Payouts covering a 5-week fiscal month are typically about 25% larger than a normal month with similar daily revenue, and they push the following payout date further out.
Yes. Apple only issues a payment once your proceeds pass the minimum payment threshold for your country and banking setup. Balances below the threshold roll over and are included in a later payment.
They are estimates projected from Apple's fiscal calendar and historical payment behavior. Apple confirms actual dates and amounts in App Store Connect. Year-end payments in particular can slip a few days due to banking holidays.
