1. What is Biweekly Pay to Annual Salary Conversion?

This calculator converts biweekly (every two weeks) pay to annual salary in the Philippines by multiplying the biweekly amount by 26 (the number of pay periods in a year).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Biweekly Pay — Amount earned every two weeks (PHP)
• 26 — Number of biweekly pay periods in a year

Explanation: Since there are 52 weeks in a year, biweekly payments occur 26 times per year (52 ÷ 2).

3. Importance of Salary Calculation

Details: Converting biweekly pay to annual salary helps in financial planning, loan applications, and comparing job offers with different pay schedules.

Tips: Enter your biweekly pay in Philippine Pesos (PHP). The amount should be your gross pay (before deductions).
