Why five and not four?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. September 2028 runs 30 days, which leaves 2 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Friday and Saturday. Saturday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on September 30.
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 2028 that happens in January, April, July, September, December, so September 2028 is one of 5 months this year.
Saturdays in September across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
