Why 52?
A year of 365 days is 52 weeks and 1 day, so every weekday is guaranteed 52 appearances and the single spare day picks up a 53rd. In 2026 the spare day is a Thursday, and Sunday is not among them, so it stays at 52.
Months with five Sundays
4 months in 2026 contain five Sundays: March, May, August, November. For weekly or fortnightly pay dated on a Sunday, those are the months with an extra pay date.
