Here is a quick estimate by pay cycle as of today: - Weekly pay: 270 paydays remaining (52 total per year) - Fortnightly / bi-weekly pay: 270 paydays remaining (26 total per year, occasionally 27) - Monthly pay: 270 paydays remaining (12 total per year) - Semi-monthly pay (1st and 15th of the month): 270 paydays remaining (24 total per year)

For monthly-paid workers, the last payday of 2026 is typically in late December, often brought forward by employers to avoid the Christmas period. For fortnightly and weekly workers, your last payday depends on exactly when your cycle falls. Enter your next payday above for your specific last payday date. Note: 2026 is a standard year with no 27th fortnightly payday quirk for most cycles. Whether your year has 26 or 27 fortnightly pays depends on your specific cycle start date.
