Why five and not four?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. January 2029 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on January 29.
Five Mondays and the payroll question
A month with five Mondays matters to anyone paid weekly or fortnightly on that day, because it produces an extra pay date inside the same calendar month. In 2029 that happens in January, April, July, October, December, so January 2029 is one of 5 months this year.
Mondays in January across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
