Looking for information on the upcoming paycheck? Find details at When Is The Next Military Payday?
USAA is the most popular bank for military service members, and people want to know when their USAA military pay deposit dates will be. As a benefit to their military customers, USAA credits anticipated military pay one business day prior to the actual payday, provided they receive the pay deposit information from the appropriate finance agency.
The 2022 USAA Military Pay Deposit Calendars
The 2022 USAA Military Pay Deposit CalendarsI’ve had several comments and emails asking for the 2022 calendars, and it just warms my little planning heart. 💖 I present the 2022 USAA pay deposit date calendars! For each option, you can either:
- Click on the image to make it larger, then save it to your computer, and print it.
- Save the PDF copy and print it.
- Save the word copy and print it.
I’ve eliminated the Google Docs version from previous years because people were confused by the “make a copy” directions and that was causing frustration. If you want it in Google Doc, let me know I’ll do it just for you! (Email me at kate at katehorrell.com)
Because of the way weekends and holidays work, every year has a couple of very long pay periods in it. They’re a lot easier to manage if you are prepared for them. If you get paid one business day early with USAA, here are your long pay periods for 2022 :
January 2022 end-of-month, from 13 January to 31 January – 18 days
May 2022 end-of-month, from 12 May to 31 May – 19 days
August 2022 end-of-month, from 12 August to 31 August – 19 days
October 22 end-of-month, from 13 October to 31 October – 18 days
As always, please let me know if you have technical difficulties or think you spot an error. No matter how many times they are proofread, something always gets through!

Thanks for your hard work on this. This information used to be only found after hours on the phone talking to supervisor after supervisor and being bounced back and forth between the bank and DFAC
It should be noted that occasionally (rarely – but it does happen), someone in the pay dept. in the military goes home or on vacation without hitting that “send” button and pay doesn’t show up early. It has never ever failed to be posted on the actually military pay date when that happens. But in the last several years I think it has happened 2 or 3 times. Actually happened today. I was surprised when I checked the bank and the pay wasn’t there. I am sure it will be there on Monday. But usually what happens is they scramble at the finance office and say that members won’t allowed to be paid a day early any more. A memo gets sent out. And then next time it is business as usual and the day early pay continues at USAA. Why we get paid early at USAA (and some other banking institutions) is that the pay department actually sends the payroll out about 24 hours before payday. This is so the banks have it in their coffers to give/release on the correct business day. Most banks hold it until the actual payday (1st/ 15th). But a few (USAA included) have a policy that once they have it – they allow us access to it, citing that it is our money after all.
Tiffany, just so you don’t have mis-information: Financial institutions do not receive actual payroll funds in advance of the actual payday. They receive the information regarding the deposit early. The banks that offer early direct deposit are basically making a mini-loan of the funds that they’ll receive in the future. Then the actual pay funds are transferred to the financial institution on the actual payday.
It is USAA’s policy to credit military pay funds before payday provided they receive the information from the appropriate finance office. There are times when they do not receive this information in time to process it prior to the actual payday, as you’ve noted.
Kate, something tells me should not expect our direct deposits on the 28th of June. This is After the Holiday, the remembering of Brothers and sister, it is also mid week and there are 31 days in May.
I’m not sure why you think that USAA will not be making pay deposits on 28 June. The official policy of USAA is to credit military pay “one business day prior to the actual military payday.” The actual June end-of-month military payday is Monday, 1 July. The business day prior to Monday, 1 July is Friday, 28 June.
If you were talking about the May end-of-month pay deposit, that information is also correct. As 1 June is on a Saturday, the actual military payday is Friday, 31 May. The business day prior to Friday, 31 May is Thursday, 30 May – that’s when USAA should deposit the May end-of-month paychecks. Being the middle of the week or during the week after Memorial Day is irrelevant.
If you don’t have confidence in my list, you are welcome to use the list at USAA itself: https://communities.usaa.com/t5/Money-Matters/2019-Military-Pay-Deposit-Dates/ba-p/198947
Had a mix up there sorry
No payment May 12th or 13th so far. 🙁
Anissa, have you checked your mid-month net pay advice statement on myPay? You should verify that there is pay due, and that the bank account information is correct.
Is there a chart for the va disability pay dates or is it all the same
It’s not a big deal because you’ve done an amazing job on the calendar and website, but the dates are wrong on the month of April
Kaci – thanks for letting me know. Can you tell me where exactly? I’m not seeing it. Thank you!
93 April is the only thing I see wrong.
I’d like to say thank you. We are va paid, so our pay follows the active duties 1st of the month pay day. I run all our pay says and how many meals I have to buy based on your calendar, it’s never let me down. Thank you very much.
Your USAA pay date for mid month June is wrong, you have the 30th instead of the 14th
It’s there, look at the charts at the bottom. (Listed chart and color chart.) Also, Go Hawks.
Hey! Just mentioning you have June’s mid month payday as June 30th.
No pay so far today, July 31. Between summer and vacations, I’ve been counting my pennies to get to today! I really hope they get that pay through. Our First Command allotments were available Friday!
Elizabeth, hope your pay showed up. It an be any time during the day 🙂
Will you be doing 2019 soon?
Probably mid-October to early November? Do you need some specific information sooner?
No, I was just doing my 6 month budget and was curious. I can wait! Thanks for doing this by the way— it’s VERY helpful!
Thank you for doing these! Just printed the 2019 version!
Please let me know if (when) you find a mistake! I feel so confident that they’re 100% right this year, but I thought that last year, too 🙂
Good evening! I have a question about this week.
Since we have USAA does that mean we get paid this Friday, Dec 28th? Because everyone else gets paid on the 31st?
I just stumbled upon your site, surfed the usaa pay anticipated schedule. Great stuff! Great work! I see there is more yet to look through;)
Since the first and the 31st are considered holidays would we get paid Friday the 28th?
Bille, the 31st is not a holiday.
Awesome work! Thanks for the dedication making this! It removes alot of awkward phone calls to supervisors for 24/7 shift workers, thanks!!
Did you see that the USAA website has March 28th, 2019 as the April 1st pay date?
Sarah – that’s crazy! I’ve emailed my USAA people to find out what’s up! Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
I think the end month March date is incorrect
I have one of my USAA contacts looking into it, because I think *their* calendar is incorrect. I’m waiting for a response 🙂
Good morning, have you found out? Obviously it’s the 28th and I don’t have my direct deposit. I’m sure they meant tomorrow, March 29, 2019.
Zondra – USAA’s website now says that the early direct deposit day is tomorrow. I hope you weren’t counting on that money!
Thank you so much for your quick response. No, I manage my money correctly, thankfully I didn’t need the deposit today. I pretty much knew it had to be the 29th. Or maybe USAA was being generous.. Not!!!!
Thank you. This is awesome! I always look at these
Hi Kate! Did you hear back from your USAA source? I’m thinking USAA flubbed. 🙂
I got a quick note saying that they’re “looking in to it.” I think you’re right 🙂
Hi Kate! I’m seeing some charts that say March 28th as the USAA day or deposit and others that are the 29th. Could you please clarify which is correct? Thanks so much.
Brandon – I just looked at USAA has changed their webpage. The information here is correct. Thanks for asking!
Looks like the same issue for April…I’ve seen calendars that say 12 Apr and 13 Apr, which is strange given the latter is a Saturday. Today is the 12th and there was no pay in my account this morning.
Hi Rebecca, You’re right – it seems like there was also a mistake on this payday. But rest assured, pay should come in today. It can come at any time across the day. I know people get used to it being deposited early in the day, but that’s not guaranteed and sometimes it doesn’t happen until later. I hope that helps.
I notice that the month of August lists only 30 days, when it’s a 31 day month …. can you update/revise? 🙂
I could, but I won’t. It doesn’t affect the readability or accurateness of the pay schedule listed. It seems a better use of my time to continue to research and teach about the many topics that still need to be covered.
On this page it says we will be paid on the 11th of October, but on usaa it says we will be getting paid on the 14th (which is Columbus day, though im not sure id are still celebrating that day) we’re getting a family day on the 11th, just trying to figure out how that pay period will work out.
Great question! I have reached out to my USAA folks for some clarification.
Great! Have they responded?
Not yet!
Some websites have this pay period as the 28th (Thanksgiving). Hopefully this pay period does come on the 27th.
Does this chart also coincide with VA disability? Thank you. Awesome calendar btw!!
I received VA pay on the 27
Not sure, but our college student received her GI Bill stipend today, on the 27th.
Will I get my va pay on friday or monday this month (december)
Should be Monday, 30 December if you usually get early direct deposit in USAA!
Pay will be Monday, December 30, 2019.
Positive it’s Monday 30th and not Friday 27th?
Pretty sure…why would it be on the 27th?
You’re a Godsend for doing this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hello! Thank you for providing these Calendars all these years. Hope all is well. Id like to know if you have an option for iCal. So I can save it.
Any idea of when the 2022 Pay Schedule will be released?
Thank you!
As soon as I finish this final exam, Sean 🙂
Amazing! Thank you. Good luck!
When will your 2022 USAA pay dates calendar be available?
I’m taking an exam tomorrow, and I hope to get them finished within a day or two. They are VERY time-consuming!
Please check the Month of March the days are messed up. Other than that thanks for this calendar!
Hi Kate!
Thank you so much for doing these year after year! I look forward to them to keep me on track.
This year I’m having trouble finding the 2022 USAA pay-date calendar, the only one I am seeing has the actual military pay day marked.
Thanks again!
Taylor – thank you so much for noticing! You were trying the color version, right? I *think* I fixed it. Please let me know if it is still isn’t working for you!
That worked! Thank you so much.
Is there a reason navy fed gets paid today and usaa won’t get paid it until the 31st of may?
Yes. Navy Federal’s processing system requires that the day before the deposit be a business day. They put the transactions into pending on the business day, and they process overnight to be available the next morning.Therefore, they can’t ever do a deposit on a Monday, or a Tuesday after a holiday, because the previous day isn’t a business day. When the deposit is “due” on a Monday, or a Tuesday holiday, they process overnight on Friday night to be available on Saturday morning.
USAA’s process doesn’t require that the previous day be a business day.
This happens whenever the real payday is on a Tuesday (or Wednesday after a holiday) and “one day early” is Monday (or Tuesday after a holiday.)
