How this converter works
Step 1 — Convert to annual
Every conversion passes through the annual figure first. Multiply your entered amount by the number of pay periods per year for your selected frequency:
- Weekly: amount × 52
- Biweekly: amount × 26
- Semi-monthly: amount × 24
- Monthly: amount × 12
Step 2 — Divide to each target frequency
The annual total is then divided by each frequency's periods per year using the same divisors. The calculator uses exact arithmetic — annual ÷ 26 for biweekly, annual ÷ 24 for semi-monthly — with no rounding applied to the intermediate figures.
Why biweekly and semi-monthly are different
Biweekly (every two weeks) produces 26 paychecks per year. Twice a year, biweekly employees receive three paychecks in one calendar month. Semi-monthly (twice a month — typically the 1st and 15th) produces exactly 24 paychecks per year. The annual salary is identical; the per-paycheck amount differs only because the year is divided into a different number of periods.
