Worked example: Bi-weekly from 9 January 2026
Starting from Friday 9 January 2026 and stepping 14 days gives 26 paydays in 2026, the last on 25 December.
Semi-monthly on the 15th and last day gives 24 dates. When the 31st of January falls on a Saturday the calendar moves it to Friday 30 January, or to the Monday after if you prefer.
Frequently asked questions
Why 26 and not 24 pay periods?
Bi-weekly is every 14 days, 52 ÷ 2 = 26 per year (27 in some years). Semi-monthly is twice a month, 24.
What happens when payday lands on a weekend?
By default it moves to the Friday before; you can choose the Monday after or keep the date.
Can I pick the 1st and 15th?
Yes, for semi-monthly choose "1st and 15th".
Does monthly keep the same day?
Yes, clamped to the last day of shorter months.
Are holidays considered?
No. Check the pay date against your company holiday list.
