Biweekly vs Semi-Monthly Pay
Biweekly means paid every two weeks — 26 pay periods per year. Semi-monthly means paid twice a month (typically the 1st and 15th) — 24 pay periods per year. Most US hourly workers are paid biweekly. The difference matters for annual pay calculations: 26 biweekly checks vs 24 semi-monthly checks from the same annual salary produces different per-check amounts.
How It Works
The calculator tracks two separate 7-day workweeks. Each day gets its own clock-in and clock-out entries. Week subtotals and a biweekly grand total are calculated automatically. Overtime is detected per workweek — not averaged across the two weeks — consistent with FLSA rules.
Worked Example
At $18/hr over a two-week period:
- Week 1: 42 hours worked → 40 regular + 2 OT
- Week 2: 38 hours worked → 38 regular, no OT
- Biweekly total: 80 hours
Regular pay: 78h × $18 = $1,404.00
Overtime pay: 2h × $27 = $54.00
Gross biweekly pay: $1,458.00
Frequently Asked Questions
Is overtime calculated weekly or across the full biweekly period?
Under FLSA, overtime is calculated per individual workweek — never averaged across a pay period. Working 50 hours one week and 30 the next means one week of overtime, even though the biweekly total is 80 hours.
What's the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly pay?
Biweekly = every 14 days, 26 checks/year. Semi-monthly = fixed calendar dates, 24 checks/year. Biweekly is more common for hourly workers.
Can I use this for salaried employees?
You can track hours, but overtime pay for salaried workers depends on their exempt/non-exempt classification under FLSA — consult an HR professional.
