FAQ

How do I budget biweekly pay?

Multiply one paycheck by 26 and divide by 12 to get a monthly average, then split that. The calculator does this for you.

What about months with three paychecks?

Biweekly pay produces two extra paychecks a year. Many people assign those to savings or debt, but that is your choice.
