You know that feeling when it’s two weeks into the month and you’re already calculating days till salary drops? Yeah, we all do it. You’re literally counting on your fingers like a primary school kid learning addition, except this time the stakes are real. Your fuel tank is crying, your data is about to finish, and Iya Sikira at the canteen just gave you THAT look when you asked to buy on credit again.

This calculator ends the guesswork.

Here’s how it works:

Open the calculator and you’ll see two options. If your company pays at the end of the month (like most Nigerian companies that love keeping us in suspense), just leave it on “Monthly (Last working day).” The calculator is smart enough to know that if month-end falls on Saturday, you’re not getting paid till Monday because Nigerian banks said so.

But maybe your company is different. Maybe they pay mid-month or on some random date only HR understands. No wahala. Select “Custom Date” and pick your actual payday. Be honest with yourself, not the date they SAID they’d pay but the date money actually hits your account.

Hit “Calculate Days Left” and boom. The calculator tells you exactly how many days you need to survive. Not just the number, it gives you the full date too so you can screenshot and send to your friends in the group chat for moral support.

Stop Checking Your Calendar Every 5 Minutes

The best part? It comes with motivational messages based on how far you are from payday. If you're 25 days away, it knows you're suffering and it tells you to hang in there. If it's tomorrow, it hypes you up like you just won a Grammy. If it's TODAY, confetti should literally fall from your phone screen.

Pro tip: Check this every Monday morning. It hits different when you see "14 days left" versus "omo, still 27 days to go." Knowledge is power, even when that knowledge hurts.

Save this calculator. You'll need it more than you think.
