There are approximately 13 weeks in 3 months. Since months vary in length (28 to 31 days), the exact number can range between 12.7 and 13.4 weeks, depending on which months are included.
Below, we break down the calculation in detail.
How is the Number of Weeks in 3 Months Calculated?
- Average Calculation:
- 1 month ≈ 4.345 weeks (based on 365 days/year ÷ 12 months ÷ 7 days/week).
- 3 months ≈ 13.035 weeks (4.345 × 3).
- Exact Calculation (Varies by Month Combination):
- 90-day periods (e.g., January + February + March in a non-leap year):
- 90 days ÷ 7 ≈ 12.857 weeks
- 91-day periods (e.g., April + May + June):
- Exactly 13 weeks (91 ÷ 7 = 13).
- 92-day periods (e.g., July + August + September):
- 92 ÷ 7 ≈ 13.142 weeks
- 90-day periods (e.g., January + February + March in a non-leap year):
