Pay period calculator
Split an annual salary into gross pay per period for weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly payroll.
Split an annual salary into gross pay per period for weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly payroll.
Gross pay per period = annual salary ÷ number of pay periods. Weekly is 52. Biweekly is 26. Semi-monthly is 24. Monthly is 12.
Biweekly and semi-monthly are easy to mix up. Biweekly is every two weeks, 26 times a year. Semi-monthly is twice a month, 24 times a year. The biweekly amount is smaller. Two months a year, a biweekly worker receives three payments. This page shows the gross amount before tax.

52 for weekly, 26 for every two weeks, 24 for twice a month, and 12 for monthly. If the contract names a different count, use that count.
