Biweekly Pay Calculator
Work out biweekly gross pay and see why 26 pay periods a year is not the same as twice monthly.
Every figure below is labelled in the currency you pick. Amounts are not converted — enter values in the same currency.
26 versus 24 pay periods
Biweekly means every two weeks — 26 payments a year. Semimonthly means twice a month — 24 payments, each slightly larger. Two months every year contain three biweekly paydays, and treating those as bonus months rather than as normal cash flow is one of the easier budgeting wins available.
