By Apex Reign · Published on 2026-05-31

What Is a Semimonthly Paycheck?

Semimonthly pay means two paychecks per month, typically on the 1st and 15th. That is 24 paychecks per year. A $75,000 salary gives $3,125 per semimonthly check before taxes.

Biweekly pay (26 checks) gives $2,884.62 per check. Same annual total, different per-check amount.
