How to use this reference
Enter a known payday and select the payment frequency to establish a calendar schedule. Weekly and biweekly pay repeat every seven or fourteen days, while monthly pay follows a day of the month. A payday on today’s date counts as the next payday and is included in the remaining-year total.
Semi-monthly means twice per calendar month, not every fourteen days. It therefore needs two scheduled payment days, such as the 1st and 15th or the 15th and month-end. Monthly dates that do not exist in a shorter month are clamped to its final day without permanently shifting the original schedule.
The estimate does not automatically move paydays for bank holidays, weekends or employer processing rules. Confirm actual deposit dates with payroll. Use the Budget Calculator for spending plans, the Day Counter for date intervals, and the Date Calculator for other schedule calculations.
Frequently asked questions
Are biweekly and semi-monthly schedules equivalent?
No. Biweekly repeats every 14 days. Semi-monthly has two specified dates per month, usually producing 24 scheduled paydays per full year.
Are weekends and holidays adjusted?
No. The results follow the entered calendar pattern. Your employer or bank may move actual payment dates.
Does a payday today count as remaining?
Yes. The next-payday lookup and remaining-calendar-year count include today.
