Why five and not four?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. March 2027 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on March 31.
Five Wednesdays and the payroll question
A month with five Wednesdays matters to anyone paid weekly or fortnightly on that day, because it produces an extra pay date inside the same calendar month. In 2027 that happens in March, June, September, December, so March 2027 is one of 4 months this year.
Wednesdays 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.
