See what each paycheck will be after tax. Switch between biweekly, semimonthly, weekly and monthly pay.
Biweekly vs semimonthly paychecks
Biweekly pay arrives every two weeks, which gives you 26 paychecks a year. Semimonthly pay arrives twice a month, usually on the 15th and the last day, which gives you 24. On the same salary, each biweekly paycheck is a little smaller, but two months a year you get a third check.
Use the period buttons on the pay summary to switch between them. The annual take-home pay is the same either way.
