How HoursPad works out the dates

HoursPad counts forward and back from the payday you type, in steps of 7 days (weekly) or 14 days (biweekly). Semi-monthly uses the 15th and the last day of each month. These are calculated dates, not your employer's official calendar: your employer or payroll office has that.

Your dates stay on your device. The .ics file is built in your browser, and each payday is one all-day event.

Questions

Which months have 3 paychecks in 2027?

With a biweekly payday on Jan 8, 2027, they are April and October. Type your own payday above to see yours.

Why does a biweekly schedule sometimes pay 3 times in a month?

Paydays are 14 days apart, so a month with 30 or 31 days can fit three of them when the first one falls early in the month.

Does a 3-paycheck month change my pay?

HoursPad only counts paydays. How pay is set for a pay period is your employer's decision, so ask your employer or payroll office.

What about weekly pay?

A weekly schedule has 4 or 5 paydays in a month. HoursPad marks the months with 5.
