Notes

A semi-monthly payroll pays twice a month on fixed dates, so there are 24 paydays in 2027 and never a 3-paycheck month. On the 15th and last day schedule, 8 of the 24 paydays fall on a weekend or bank holiday and move to the business day before. On the 1st and 15th schedule the year line moves: Friday, January 1, 2027 is paid Thursday, December 31, 2026, and Saturday, January 1, 2028 is paid Friday, December 31, 2027, so 2027 has 24 paydays on that schedule.

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

Questions

How many semi-monthly paydays are there in 2027?

24, two in every month. On the 1st and 15th schedule, a January 1 payday moved to December 31 counts in the year before, so the count by pay date in 2027 is 24.

What is the difference between semi-monthly and biweekly?

Semi-monthly pays on two fixed dates each month, 24 times a year, with paydays that land on different weekdays. Biweekly pays every other week on the same weekday, 26 times in most years and 27 in some, which is where 3-paycheck months come from.

What if the 15th falls on a weekend?

It is usually paid the Friday before. In 2027 that happens in February, May and August.
