Schedule Patterns

Monthly, Bimonthly & Quarterly

monthly(), bimonthly(), quarterly(), semiannually(), annually() — day-of-month patterns.

Monthly, Bimonthly & Quarterly

These methods run on specific day(s) of the month at monthly, every-2-months, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual intervals. All support multiple days and an optional start_month anchor.

monthly()

Every month on the given day(s).

$schedule->monthly(['days_of_month' => [1, 15]])->forYear(2025);

bimonthly()

Every 2 months. Optional start_month (1–12) anchors the first occurrence.

$schedule->bimonthly(['days_of_month' => [5, 20], 'start_month' => 2])
    ->from('2025-01-05')
    ->to('2025-06-30');

quarterly()

Every 3 months. Optional start_month anchors the first occurrence.

$schedule->quarterly(['days_of_month' => [7, 21], 'start_month' => 2])
    ->from('2025-02-15')
    ->to('2025-11-15');

semiannually()

Every 6 months. Optional start_month anchors the first occurrence.

$schedule->semiannually(['days_of_month' => [10], 'start_month' => 3])
    ->from('2025-03-10')
    ->to('2025-12-10');

annually()

Every 12 months. Optional start_month anchors the first occurrence.

$schedule->annually(['days_of_month' => [1, 15], 'start_month' => 4])
    ->from('2025-04-01')
    ->to('2026-04-01');

Config keys

  • day_of_month (int): single day, e.g. 15
  • days_of_month (int): multiple days, e.g. [1, 15]
  • start_month (int, 1–12): optional anchor month

For first/second/third/fourth/last weekday of the month (e.g. “every 1st Wednesday”), use Monthly ordinal weekday. For intervals of 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 months, use Dynamic monthly (every X months).
