If you want to avoid reinventing the wheel and having extra code to maintain and test, I highly suggest to use an external library like Moment.js or date-fns.

I personally advocate for date-fns as it is not as bulky as Moment and relies on Date primitives rather than Moment objects.

Your function of interest is named isLastDayOfMonth and can be found here

function isLastDayOfMonth(date){
    return date.getDate() == new Date(date.getFullYear(),date.getMonth()+1,0).getDate();
}

(Update: See the final example at the bottom, but the rest is left as background.)

You can add a day to the Date instance and see if the month changes (because JavaScript's Date object fixes up invalid day-of-month values intelligently), e.g.:

function isLastDay(dt) {
    var test = new Date(dt.getTime()),
        month = test.getMonth();

    test.setDate(test.getDate() + 1);
    return test.getMonth() !== month;
}

Gratuitous live example

...or as paxdiablo pointed out, you can check the resulting day-of-month, which is probably faster (one fewer function call) and is definitely a bit shorter:

function isLastDay(dt) {
    var test = new Date(dt.getTime());
    test.setDate(test.getDate() + 1);
    return test.getDate() === 1;
}

Another gratuitous live example

You could embed more logic in there to avoid creating the temporary date object if you liked since it's really only needed in February and the rest is just a table lookup, but the advantage of both of the above is that they defer all date math to the JavaScript engine. Creating the object is not going to be expensive enough to worry about.

...and finally: Since the JavaScript specification requires (Section 15.9.1.1) that a day is exactly 86,400,000 milliseconds long (when in reality days vary in length a bit), we can make the above even shorter by adding the day as we :

function isLastDay(dt) {
    return new Date(dt.getTime() + 86400000).getDate() === 1;
}

Final gratuitous example

This is worked.

var   lastday   =   new   Date(new   Date().getFullYear(),new   Date().getMonth()+1,0).getDate();

Hope help you.

Suppose that you got:

var month = getMonthFromUserInput();
var year = getYearFromUserInput();

This will give the last day of that month

new Date((new Date(year , month , 1)) -1 )

Remember that month 0 is Jan

Browsers identify the day 0 as the last day of the previous month

var month = 0; // January
var d = new Date(2008, month + 1, 0);
alert(d); // last day in January

as seen here : Calculate last day of month in javascript

you can simply use the month inserted by the user + 1 with day = 0 to check if he has inserted the last day of the month.
