2027 biweekly paycheck calendar: first payday January 1

Your 2027 payday calendar

Paydays are dark blue. Federal holidays are orange; hover a date to see which holiday it is. Months with an extra paycheck have a yellow outline.

Every 2027 payday

Holiday paydays: Fri, Jan 1 is New Year's Day; Fri, Jun 18 is Juneteenth (observed); Fri, Dec 31 is New Year's Day 2028 (observed). Many employers pay the business day before a holiday, so check with yours.

How to use the extra paychecks

If you budget your monthly bills from two paychecks, every third paycheck is money your budget does not depend on. That makes it the easiest money of the year to put to work: pay off a credit card, add a month to your emergency fund, or fill a sinking fund for holidays and car repairs.

In 2027 that happens in January, July, December. Mark them now so they don't disappear into everyday spending. The biweekly budgeting guide walks through the setup.

Heads up: 27 paydays. Because your first payday is January 1, you get 27 biweekly paychecks in 2027 instead of 26. If you are salaried, ask whether your employer divides your salary by 26 or 27, since it changes the size of each check.
