Last Weekday of Month Calculator

Find the last occurrence of a given weekday in a month, such as "the last Friday of the quarter."

Need a specific numbered occurrence instead? See Nth Weekday of Month Calculator.

Worked example

The last Monday of February 2027 is February 22: working backward from February 28 (the month's last day, a Sunday), the most recent Monday before or on that date is February 22.

Limitations

This is calendar arithmetic only; it does not check whether that date is actually a working day at your organization.

Frequently asked questions

Does this always exist, unlike the 5th occurrence?: Yes, every month has exactly one last occurrence of every weekday, so this never fails the way asking for a 5th occurrence sometimes does.
