How bi-weekly pay is calculated
This estimate assumes 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year. We convert hourly to yearly, then compute bi-weekly pay as yearly / 26.
- If your employer uses semi-monthly pay (24 checks/year) instead of bi-weekly (26 checks/year), your paycheck amount can differ even with the same yearly salary.
- If you take unpaid leave or seasonal time off, reduce weeks per year to match how many weeks you actually work.
- This is gross pay (before taxes and deductions). Use payroll withholdings to estimate take-home pay.
