What this tool does
It computes pay dates — it does not calculate pay. Pick one of the four common pay frequencies, set the anchor date your schedule uses, and choose what should happen when a payday lands on a weekend or a federal holiday: move it earlier, move it later, or leave it as-is.
Every date on this site is produced by code from the 2027 calendar — nothing is typed in by hand — and the calculations are locked by automated tests. If your employer uses a different rule than the one you pick here, your paycheck schedule comes from your employer.
Quick answers for 2027
- Biweekly on Fridays? 2027 has 53 Fridays, so a schedule anchored on January 1 pays 27 times (the last one on December 31), while one anchored on January 8 pays 26 times. See the full 26 vs 27 explanation.
- Which months have three paychecks? On a biweekly schedule the answer depends on your anchor — January 1 gives January, July and December; January 8 gives April and October — the three-paycheck months tool.
- Weekly on Fridays? 53 pay dates — the weekly calendar.
- Semi-monthly? 24 nominal pay dates; six land on weekends in 2027 — the semi-monthly calendar.
- Monthly? 12 pay dates on any fixed schedule — pick "Monthly" in the generator above.
- Federal employee? The 26 official NFC pay periods are on the federal pay period calendar page, with source links.
- Holidays that move pay dates: the 2027 federal holidays list.
Federal holidays used by this tool
When the "move to a workday" options are selected, the generator skips the twelve dates below — the eleven 2027 federal holidays plus Friday, December 31, which is the observed New Year's Day for 2028. Weekdays are computed from the date; four dates are observed shifts of holidays that fall on a weekend. Source: OPM federal holiday schedule.
