Relative months

Package: DATETIME_PACKAGE. Registered by createEngine(); for a slimmer engine, register it explicitly (see choosing packages).

A relative month names a month by its relation to now rather than by name, the way you would say this month or next month. Each resolves against the current date. The answers shown are for 11 March 2026, the fixed date these pages are checked against, and the notepad works them out for your own today.

Each resolves to the first of its month, the same anchor March 2026 gives, so it drops in wherever a month is wanted.

this month // Sunday, March 1, 2026
next month // Wednesday, April 1, 2026
last month // Sunday, February 1, 2026
