5 extra pays

Hey everyone! Joey has a question for all of you. Did you know that approximately every 5 to 6 years, those of you who are paid weekly actually receive an additional paycheck? Typically, you receive 4 extra paychecks throughout the year, but due to the way the calendar is structured, there are certain years when you’ll get 5 extra paychecks instead.

This phenomenon occurs because in a 12-month calendar year, while most months contain 4 weeks, there are 5 months each year that have 5 weeks. As a result, over the span of several years, the timing of these extra pay periods aligns in such a way that you end up with those 5 additional paychecks rather than just the usual 4. It’s a nice surprise for those affected, so keep an eye out for when this might happen next!

Here is a list of those years:

1897, 1904, 1909, 1915, 1920, 1926, 1932, 1937, 1943, 1948, 1954, 1960, 1965, 1971, 1976, 1982, 1988, 1993, 1999, 2004, 2010, 2016, 2021, 2027, 2032, 2038, 2044, 2049, 2055, 2060, 2066, 2072, 2077, 2083, 2089, 2094, 2100, 2106, 2112, 2117, 2123.
