Answer 1

tpuiatti's answer from this thread was the only one that worked for me:

Paste the following text into a new .txt file (e.g. with notepad):

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20110731
DTEND:20110731
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=SU,MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA;BYSETPOS=-1;WKST=SU
SUMMARY:Name of your event
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Behind both DTSTART and DTEND, write the date of the first occurrence of the event. Adjust the name as you see fit.

On your Google Calendar, go to Settings under My Calendars in the left sidebar. Click Import Calendar and upload your .txt file. (It will not create a new calendar, but rather add the event to an existing calendar.)

Your event now appears on the 30th or 31st (or 28th, 29th) of each month, depending on the month.

You can also schedule it for the last business day by dropping SU and SA in the BYDAY.

You can still edit the name and time of the event (the UI is a bit glitchy, messing up your dates by default, but it works), but you cannot edit the recurrence: "This event has a recurrence rule that cannot be edited in Google Calendar"

Answer 2

• Open Outlook > Go to Tasks -> New Task
• Enter Subject > Start Date > and Due Date (Due Date will be last date of this (Feb.)month)
• Click on Recurrence tab at top
• Pattern Monthly > The (Last) (day) of every (1) month.

Ok

Answer 3

Go to Google Calender -> Create Event. In the date/time, click & select it as End of Month.

Put a check against the repeat, and select:

• Repeat: Monthly
• Repeat by: Day of Month
