Notes

Every biweekly Friday payroll runs on one of two cycles. Cycle A pays 26 times in 2028 and cycle B pays 26 times, counting paydays moved to the business day before a weekend or bank holiday. Three-paycheck months: cycle A June and December; cycle B March and September.

Computed schedules for planning. Your employer's payroll calendar is the final word.

Which cycle am I on?

Enter any date you were paid. Biweekly Fridays repeat every 14 days, so one payday tells you the whole year.

For example, a payday of Friday, January 7, 2028 means cycle B.

Questions

How many biweekly paydays are there in 2028?

Cycle A has 26 paydays in 2028 and cycle B has 26, when a payday on a weekend or bank holiday is paid the business day before. Without that move, cycle A has 26 Fridays and cycle B has 26.

Which months have 3 paychecks in 2028 if I am paid biweekly?

On cycle A: June and December. On cycle B: March and September. Your cycle is A if you were paid on Jan 14, 2028 and B if you were paid on Jan 7, 2028.

How do I know which biweekly cycle I am on?

Take any Friday you were paid. If it is an even number of weeks from Friday, January 2, 2026, you are on cycle A; otherwise cycle B. The checker on this page does it for you. For paydays on another weekday, use the calculator on the home page.

What happens when a biweekly payday falls on a holiday?

Most employers pay the business day before, because direct deposit settles through the Federal Reserve, which is closed on bank holidays. Some pay the business day after. Your state may set the rule, so check your state's payday law.
