Let’s be real. Sometimes you need to see the numbers to believe you actually earned that salary. Especially when it feels like you’ve been working since Genesis but your account balance is giving “maybe you didn’t work at all.”

This calculator shows you exactly how many days you grinded between paydays. Not vibes, not feelings, actual numbers. Because math doesn’t lie, even if your energy levels do.

How to use it:

You need two dates. Your last payday (when money actually entered your account, not when they said it would), and your next payday. If you’re doing this mid-month, just use today’s date as the end date. The calculator doesn’t judge.

Type in the start date, the last time your salary dropped. Then type in the end date, either your next payday or today if you’re just checking your progress. It’s that simple.

Click “Calculate Period” and watch the magic happen.

The calculator breaks it down for you: total days, working days (because weekends don’t count, you were on Instagram those days), full weeks, and weekend days. It’s like getting a report card but for your work life.

Why this matters: Proof That You Actually Worked That Hard

When your manager says “you’ve only been here three weeks” but you FEEL like you’ve aged three years, this calculator proves who’s right. When you’re negotiating your contract or trying to figure out if you’re being underpaid, these numbers matter. When your mom asks what you’ve been doing all month and you need evidence that yes, you’ve been working, not just posting on your story.

Real talk moment: Sometimes seeing “you worked 22 days out of 31 total days” hits different. That’s 22 days you showed up, dealt with terrible WiFi, sat through meetings that could have been emails, and smiled at customers who tested your patience. You earned that money. Every kobo.

This calculator is your proof. Use it.
