Calculating proportioned months in a tax year

KKera9y ago
How do you accurately calculate the proportioned months in a tax year? This always confuses me. In one question :6/4/15 to 1/1/16 is 9 months In another : 6/4/15 to 31/10/15 is 7 months Where if I work out the 2nd in the same way as the 1st would be 6 months. Please help

I think i get it.... the 31st would be an extra month where as the 1st is just the beginning so that month isnt included

Yes - don't be confused by whether the date is the last day of one month or the first day of the next month - it is still the same number of months!
