Payday Countdown Calculator
Weekly, every two weeks, or monthly on a fixed date — enter your pay cycle and see the next payday, the days left, and the following paydays.
How to use
- Choose monthly, weekly or every 2 weeks.
- For monthly, enter the day of the month you are paid; for weekly cycles, enter your last payday.
- Read the next payday, days remaining, and the next three paydays after it.
Monthly paydays that fall on the 29th, 30th or 31st are clamped to the last day of shorter months. The calculator counts calendar days and does not shift paydays for weekends or bank holidays, which depend on your employer.
Tips
- If your payday lands on a weekend or holiday, check with your employer when it is actually paid.
- Use the list of upcoming paydays to line up rent, bills and savings transfers with each pay cycle.
- For monthly pay, enter the exact date of the month — the tool handles shorter months automatically.

What is the Last payday field for?
For weekly and two-week cycles, enter your most recent payday so the tool can count forward and find your next payday.
What if my monthly payday is the 31st?
