Paid weekly? Plan each week's bills, groceries and savings, and plan ahead for five-pay months.
Weekly pay means four paydays most months and five in some. Our tools plan by your real weekly cycle so rent and bills line up.
Weekly pay: four or five pays a month
Weekly pay gives 52 pays a year. Most months have four paydays and four months a year usually have five. The fifth pay is easy to plan for if you know when it's coming.
Example: turning bills into a weekly figure
| Bill | Example amount | Weekly figure |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly phone | A$50 | A$50 × 12 ÷ 52 = A$11.54 |
| Quarterly power | A$450 | A$450 × 4 ÷ 52 = A$34.62 |
| Yearly rego | A$900 | A$900 ÷ 52 = A$17.31 |
