Why five and not four?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. August 2030 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Saturday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on August 31.
Five Saturdays and the payroll question
A month with five Saturdays matters to anyone paid weekly or fortnightly on that day, because it produces an extra pay date inside the same calendar month. In 2030 that happens in March, June, August, November, so August 2030 is one of 4 months this year.
Saturdays in August across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
