Payroll Calendar
Project your upcoming pay dates from your last pay date and pay frequency.
How the calculation works
Weekly and biweekly pay cycles fall on a fixed number of days apart, so projecting them is simple date addition. Semi-monthly and monthly cycles are approximated here (every ~15 or ~30 days) since real semi-monthly calendars usually anchor to specific dates like the 1st and 15th rather than a fixed interval, and month lengths vary. For those two frequencies, treat the projected dates as close estimates and confirm against your actual payroll calendar.
Formula
Next Pay Date = Last Pay Date + Frequency (in days). Repeat for each projected pay date.
Examples
Last paid Aug 1, 2026, biweekly, 3 dates
Aug 15, 2026 → Aug 29, 2026 → Sep 12, 2026
Last paid Aug 1, 2026, weekly, 4 dates
Aug 8, 2026 → Aug 15, 2026 → Aug 22, 2026 → Aug 29, 2026
