Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. February 2026 is exactly four weeks and nothing more, so every weekday appears four times and none can reach five. February in a common year is the only month where that happens.
When Friday does get a fifth
2026 has 4 months with five Fridays: January, May, July, October. February 2026 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Friday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Fridays in February across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
