Universal credit payment amount?

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me work out how much universal credit I will get for this coming month? My assessment period runs from the 15th- 14th. I last got paid on the 17th October and am due to get paid the 14th of November. Am I right in thinking this assessment period will include both of these pays in it? I am currently on maternity leave I get £838.62 maternity pay 4 weekly. I have been getting £1556 universal credit a month but was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how much I will get with 2 pays included in the assessment period, thanks

Yes, if you're paid every 4 weeks rather than monthly there are 13 paydays in the year.

As UC is calculated calendar monthly then in one of those 12 months there will be two paydays.
