Is 2028 a 27-paycheck year for biweekly pay?
Yes, for one cycle. If your first payday of 2028 falls on Saturday, Jan 1 and Sunday, Jan 2, you are paid 27 times because the 14-day cycle fits one extra payday before December 31. Every other biweekly schedule gets 26 paychecks.
How to find your first payday of the year
Take any pay date from a recent pay stub and subtract 14 days at a time until you land between January 1 and January 14, 2028. That date is your first payday of the year. Or skip the table: enter any one of your paydays in the calendar and it works out the whole year, including the three-paycheck months.
Weekly, semi-monthly and monthly pay in 2028
Semi-monthly pay is always 24 paychecks and monthly pay is always 12. Weekly pay is 52 paychecks, or 53 when the first payday of 2028 is January 1 or 2 (it is a leap year).
Frequently asked questions
How many paychecks will I get in 2028?
Biweekly: 26 in most schedules, 27 if your first payday of 2028 is Jan 1 and Jan 2. Semi-monthly: 24. Monthly: 12. Weekly: 52 or 53.
Which months have three biweekly paychecks in 2028?
Two months in a 26-paycheck year (three in a 27-paycheck year). Which ones depends on your schedule. Use the table above or enter one of your paydays in the calendar.
Is a 27th paycheck extra pay?
Hourly workers get one more check. Salaried workers earn the same annual salary, so each check is slightly smaller than in a 26-paycheck year.
