About federal pay periods
Federal employees are paid every two weeks for 14-day pay periods that start on a Sunday and end on a Saturday. The 2027 leave year starts with the pay period beginning Sunday, January 10, 2027 and ends with the period that closes on January 8, 2028.
Holidays inside a pay period do not change its dates. If you track hours or leave, print the calendar and mark your own paydays and leave days on it.
Questions and answers
When does the first pay period of 2027 start?
Pay period 1 of the 2027 leave year runs from Sunday, January 10, 2027 to Saturday, January 23, 2027 (National Finance Center numbering).
How many pay periods are in 2027?
Twenty-six biweekly pay periods. The last one, period 26, runs from December 26, 2027 to January 8, 2028.
Why does another calendar number the periods differently?
Some payroll providers number the period that ends January 9, 2027 as period 1. The 14-day dates are the same; only the numbering is shifted by one. Check which numbering your agency uses.
When is payday?
It depends on your payroll office; federal pay usually arrives about a week after a pay period ends. Check your agency's official pay date calendar.
