US state payday-law reference and pay-date calculator Methodology · Contact

State payday frequencies

The state pages come from the US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, State Payday Requirements (revised January 1, 2023). The file holds 50 state records and 25 footnotes. A column marked with an “X” in the DOL table means the state permits that payday frequency.

A state absent from the table — DOL footnote 1 names Alabama and Florida — has no regulations or not specified. DOL footnote 1's wording is shown on that state's page. Footnote text is DOL's own and is shown with the state it modifies.

Bank holidays

The pay-date calculator uses the Federal Reserve bank-holiday calendar from date.nager.at, as of 2026-08-04, covering 22 holiday records for 2026, 2027. File: data/holidays.json.

What this site does not do

This site does not list any employer's pay schedule, and it does not estimate any value the data does not contain. Where a state is absent from the DOL table, the page says so; it does not guess.
