BIWEEKLY PAY BASICS

How Biweekly Pay Works in Michigan

A biweekly pay schedule means you receive a paycheck every two weeks — 26 paychecks per year. To find your gross biweekly pay, divide your annual salary by 26:

Annual Salary ÷ 26 = Gross Biweekly Pay

Two months per year you will receive three biweekly paychecks instead of two. This is sometimes called a "three-paycheck month." Because benefit deductions are often fixed per paycheck, the extra check can feel larger than usual.

Your net biweekly paycheck in Michigan depends on your annual salary, W-4 filing status, Michigan state withholding elections, retirement contributions, health insurance deductions, and any additional withholding.
