Questions Fréquentes
What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly?
Bi-weekly means every 2 weeks (26 paychecks/year), while semi-monthly means twice per month on fixed dates (24 paychecks/year). Bi-weekly results in 2 extra paychecks per year.
Why is this the gross amount?
Gross pay is before deductions like taxes, insurance, and retirement contributions. Your actual take-home (net) pay will be lower.
How do I calculate net pay?
Subtract federal tax, state tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and any pre-tax deductions from your gross pay. Use the Take-Home Pay Calculator for an estimate.
