Use this biweekly pay calculator to convert an hourly rate and weekly schedule into gross biweekly pay. Enter hourly rate, hours per week, and paid weeks per year. The calculator shows annual pay, monthly pay, biweekly pay, weekly pay, daily pay, and annual hours.
This page is for base gross pay planning. It does not include overtime, tax withholding, benefits, bonuses, reimbursements, or payroll deductions. If actual hours change every week, calculate those hours first with the work hours calculator. If overtime matters, use the gross pay calculator.
Biweekly Pay Formula
Annual gross pay = Hourly rate x Hours per week x Paid weeks per year
Biweekly gross pay = Annual gross pay / 26
For salaried workers, the shortcut is:
Biweekly gross pay = Annual salary / 26
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter hourly rate before taxes and deductions.
- Enter hours per week for the regular paid schedule.
- Use 52 weeks for year-round work or fewer weeks for seasonal work.
- Review biweekly pay as the gross amount before deductions.
- Compare monthly and annual pay for budgeting or job-offer decisions.
Biweekly Pay Example
| Hourly Rate | Hours / Week | Annual Pay | Biweekly Pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| $20.00 | 40 | $41,600 | $1,600 |
| $25.00 | 40 | $52,000 | $2,000 |
| $30.00 | 40 | $62,400 | $2,400 |
| $35.00 | 40 | $72,800 | $2,800 |
At $25 per hour, 40 hours per week, and 52 paid weeks per year, annual gross pay is $52,000. Dividing by 26 biweekly pay periods gives $2,000 gross pay per paycheck before deductions.
Biweekly vs Semi-Monthly
Biweekly pay usually means every two weeks, or 26 pay periods per year. Semi-monthly pay usually means twice per month, or 24 pay periods per year. The paycheck amount is different even when annual salary is the same. Confirm your payroll schedule before using a biweekly number for budgeting.
