calendar month

Year's twelfth part

A calendar month is any of the twelve named divisions of the year—January through December—as opposed to a lunar month or a period of exactly thirty days.

Legal and financial contexts often specify calendar month to clarify that a deadline falls at month's end rather than thirty days from a given date: Payment is due within one calendar month of invoice date.
