Payday calendar 2027 UK
When will you get paid in 2027? Below are the last working day of every month for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, plus the usual pay dates for people paid on the 15th, 25th or 28th, adjusted for weekends and bank holidays.
Many UK employers pay on the last working day of the month, or bring pay forward to the previous working day when the usual date falls on a weekend or bank holiday. Your contract or payroll team has the final say, so check your payslip dates.

Fixed pay dates in 2027 (15th, 25th and 28th)
If your pay date falls on a weekend or bank holiday, it usually moves to the working day before. Dates below use England & Wales bank holidays; the only bank holiday that lands on one of these dates is Tuesday 28 December, which is a bank holiday across the UK, so these dates are the same in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Things to know about 2027 paydays
- Four months of 2027 end on a weekend (January, February, July, October), so the last working day is the Friday before. Monday 31 May is a bank holiday across the UK, so the last working day is Friday 28 May. Tuesday 30 November is a bank holiday in Scotland, so the last working day there is Monday 29 November.
- Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2027 fall on a weekend, and the substitute bank holidays are Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December. The last working day of December is Friday 31 December, but some employers pay earlier in December, so check with yours.
- Easter 2027 is early (Good Friday 26 March, Easter Monday 29 March). It doesn't affect last-working-day pay, because 31 March is a Wednesday, but a 28 March pay date (a Sunday) moves back past Good Friday to Thursday 25 March.
