How to use it

Pick how often you are paid and your first payday in 2027. The tool lists every payday, counts checks per month and flags months with an extra check. Monthly bills are budgeted from 2 checks a month (biweekly) or 4 (weekly), so extra checks are free to go to savings or debt. See how to budget a biweekly paycheck. Paydays that land on weekends or holidays may move; check with your employer.
