About Payday Countdown
A countdown that understands pay rules
Generic countdown timers only count calendar days. This one knows that a payday set on the 31st falls back to the last day in shorter months, and that a payday landing on a weekend can move earlier, move later, or stay put depending on your company. Pick monthly, biweekly, or weekly, set the weekend rule once, and the next payday is always computed correctly.
A small ritual to survive the month
The big number tells you how many days remain, and the progress bar shows how much of the cycle you have already endured. Come back every day to watch the bar fill up. On payday itself, the page turns into a confetti celebration and offers a survival share card for your group chats.
Everything stays on your device
No accounts, no cloud, and we never ask for your salary amount. The only thing stored is your pay cycle rule, and it lives in this browser's local storage. Clear it anytime, and nothing about your pay schedule ever leaves the page.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
What happens when payday lands on a weekend?
You decide. Pick "pay earlier" and a Saturday payday moves to Friday; pick "pay later" and it moves to Monday; pick "no adjustment" if your company transfers money on weekends anyway. The countdown always shows the adjusted date, with a small note telling you it moved.
I set the 31st but this month does not have one. Now what?
The payday automatically falls back to the last day of that month, so a payday set on the 31st becomes February 28th (or 29th), then goes back to the 31st in March. There is also a dedicated "last day of month" option if that is your actual rule.
Does this tool know how much I earn?
No, and it never asks. It only stores which day you get paid, not how much, and that rule lives in your browser's local storage. No account, no cloud, no server. Your boss cannot query it, and neither can we.
