## Overview

Business reporting often runs on fiscal calendars that don't align with calendar months. This tool computes the ISO 8601 week number (week 1 = the week with the year's first Thursday), the day-of-year ordinal, the Julian Day number (for date math), and the fiscal quarter a date falls into under four common calendars: 4-4-5 retail, 4-5-4 NRF retail, 13-week equal, and standard calendar quarters — each with a configurable fiscal-year start month. Great for SaaS finance, quarterly reviews, and project planning.

## Inputs
