Why five and not four?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. August 2028 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on August 29.
Five Tuesdays and the payroll question
A month with five Tuesdays 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 February, May, August, October, so August 2028 is one of 4 months this year.
Tuesdays 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.
