Payday breakdown
Weekly pay
Weekly pay means a fixed payday every 7 days, giving 52 (occasionally 53) paydays a year. It's common in retail, hospitality and hourly-paid work. Because the interval is always exactly 7 days, weekly pay always falls on the same day of the week — if your payday is a Friday, every payday is a Friday, unless it lands on a bank holiday and your employer adjusts it.
Payday intervals
Starting from your next payday, the calculator adds 7 days at a time to build the full list of paydays up to your target date. Weekly pay gives you more, smaller paydays to plan around than any other frequency, which makes it easier to spread a savings target into manageable amounts.
Saving a fixed amount each week
With more frequent paydays, weekly savers can often reach a goal with smaller, steadier amounts than someone paid monthly. Enter a savings target above, or use More options to tell the calculator how much you can realistically put aside each week and see whether it's enough.
Target-date calculations
The calculator counts every weekly payday between now and your target date, including or excluding a payday that falls exactly on that date depending on your choice under More options. See also the fortnightly, four-weekly and monthly payday calculators.
