About this calculator
Predicts the next 6 paydays from a known anchor date. Weekly: every 7 days (52/yr). Biweekly: every 14 days (26/yr). Semi-monthly: twice a month (24/yr). Monthly: 12/yr. Note semi-monthly ≠ biweekly: the former gives 2 paychecks/month consistently, the latter gives ~2.17 (with some 3-paycheck months).
