How the next scheduled payday is calculated
Weekly schedules repeat every 7 calendar days from a known payday. Every-two-weeks schedules repeat every 14 calendar days. Monthly schedules resolve one rule in each calendar month, while semi-monthly schedules resolve two rules and remove any duplicate date caused by short-month clamping.
If the selected As of date is itself scheduled, it is returned with zero days until payday and the following payday is shown separately.
Weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay
Weekly means every 7 days. Biweekly means every 14 days. Semi-monthly means two positions within each calendar month. Monthly means one position per month. Biweekly and semi-monthly are not equivalent.
How shorter months are handled
For a numeric monthly rule, an unavailable day clamps to that month's final valid day. Day 31 becomes February 28 in 2026, February 29 in leap year 2024, and April 30 in April. “Last day of month” explicitly chooses the actual final calendar day.
If two different semi-monthly rules resolve to the same date in a short month, that date appears once. For example, Day 30 and Day 31 both resolve to February 28, 2026, but the schedule does not duplicate it.
Why might my actual deposit date be different?
The calculator can keep scheduled weekend dates or apply the selected earlier/later weekend planning adjustment. It never adjusts holidays. Employer payroll policies, bank processing, and early direct deposit can still change the actual deposit date.
Worked examples
Biweekly payday
With a known payday of July 17, 2026 and an As of date of July 30, the 14-day sequence gives Friday, July 31 as the next payday and August 14 as the following payday.
The selected date is payday
Using the same biweekly anchor and July 31 as the As of date returns July 31 with zero days until payday, followed by August 14.
Monthly Day 31
With Day 31 selected and an As of date of April 1, 2026, April's scheduled date clamps to Thursday, April 30. The following date is Sunday, May 31; it is flagged as a weekend but not moved.
Monthly last day in a leap year
With Last day of month selected and an As of date of February 1, 2024, the next scheduled payday is February 29.
Semi-monthly schedule
For Day 15 and Last day, counted from July 16, 2026, the next payday is July 31 and the following payday is August 15.
Custom semi-monthly schedule
For Day 10 and Day 25, counted from July 11, 2026, the next payday is July 25 and the following payday is August 10.
