Biweekly Paycheck Calendar

Paid every two weeks? Enter your first pay date and get all 26 checks for the year, grouped by month — with your 3-paycheck months highlighted. Print it, or download an .ics file and drop every payday into your calendar app.

Usually your first payday in January — but any payday works; the calendar runs 26 checks (one year) from the date you pick.

Frequently asked questions

How many paychecks in a year if I'm paid biweekly?

26 in a typical year (52 weeks / 2). Because 26 checks don't divide evenly into 12 months, two months each year contain three paychecks instead of two.

Which months have three paychecks?

It depends entirely on your first pay date. Generate the calendar above and your 3-paycheck months are highlighted automatically. Many people treat the “extra” check as a savings or debt-payoff windfall, since two checks already cover the month's bills.

What does the .ics download do?

It generates a standard iCalendar file on your device with all 26 pay dates as all-day events — import it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Nothing is sent to a server.

Biweekly vs. semi-monthly — what's the difference?

Biweekly = every 14 days: 26 checks, drifting dates, two 3-check months. Semi-monthly = twice a month on fixed dates: exactly 24 checks. This calendar is for biweekly pay.

Now budget those 26 checks. The Biweekly Paycheck Budget Planner allocates every check across bills, categories and sinking funds until “Left to Allocate” hits $0 — 3-check months included. Get it on Gumroad. Or start free with the One-Tab Budget Starter.
