Figures are gross pay estimates before taxes and deductions. A standard year is assumed: 26 biweekly pay periods, 24 semi-monthly, 12 monthly.
How to use this calculator
Enter your gross pay per paycheck and pick your pay frequency. Every figure — monthly, annual, and weekly equivalents — updates instantly as you type.
For example, a $2,500 biweekly paycheck converts to annual pay of $65,000.00, a monthly equivalent of $5,416.67, and a weekly equivalent of $1,250.00 — all from 26 paychecks a year.
How it works
Annual pay = pay per paycheck × paychecks per year (52 weekly, 26 biweekly, 24 semi-monthly, 12 monthly). Monthly pay = annual ÷ 12. Weekly equivalent = annual ÷ 52.
Note that monthly pay is not simply two biweekly paychecks: two checks cover 28 days, but a month averages about 30.44 days. That is why your true monthly figure is higher — and why two months a year bring a third paycheck.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert biweekly pay to monthly pay?
Multiply one biweekly paycheck by 26 to get annual pay, then divide by 12. For example, $2,500 every two weeks is $65,000 a year, which works out to $5,416.67 a month.
Why isn't my monthly pay just two paychecks added together?
Because two paychecks cover only 28 days, while a month averages about 30.44 days. Two $2,500 paychecks give $5,000, but your true monthly equivalent is $5,416.67 - that gap is why some months bring a third paycheck.
How many biweekly paychecks are there in a year?
Normally 26. Because 52 weeks do not divide evenly into the calendar, some years have 27 biweekly pay periods, which means an extra paycheck that year.
