Payday Countdown Calculator (days until payday, weekend-adjusted)

How it works

Each month’s payday is the day you enter, or the last day of a shorter month (payday 31 → 30 April, 28 or 29 February). If that day is a Saturday or Sunday it moves to the Friday before or the Monday after, as you choose. The next payday is the first one on or after the start date (0 days = payday is today). Public holidays are not taken into account — if your payday falls on one, your employer may pay a day earlier or later.

FAQ

What if payday falls on a public holiday?

Holidays differ by country and year, so they are not included. Most employers then pay on the working day before; check your contract or payslip history.

Why does payday 31 show the 30th?

Months without a 31st use their last day, which is how most payrolls handle an end-of-month payday.
