Every Tuesday in January 2027
| # | Date | Day of year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | January 5, 2027 | 5 |

Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. January 2027 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tuesday is not among them, so the count stays at four.
When Tuesday does get a fifth
2027 has 4 months with five Tuesdays: March, June, August, November. January 2027 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Tuesday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Tuesdays in January across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
