Why five and not four?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. March 2026 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Sunday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on March 29.
Five Sundays and the payroll question
A month with five Sundays matters to anyone paid weekly or fortnightly on that day, because it produces an extra pay date inside the same calendar month. In 2026 that happens in March, May, August, November, so March 2026 is one of 4 months this year.
Sundays in March across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
