Occurring twice per month. For example, if salaried personnel are paid on the 15th and the last day of the month, we would say they are paid semimonthly. People paid semimonthly will receive 24 paychecks during a year. (People paid every two weeks – such as every other Thursday – are said to be paid biweekly and will receive 26 paychecks during the year). Also see mixed costs.

"As a new business owner, I needed a practical resource to rely upon for accounting and bookkeeping information, and AccountingCoach was a perfect fit. When I first started my small business, I was frustrated because I had to rely upon other people for accounting and bookkeeping advice, and it was costly. I upgraded to PRO not because I needed any certificates, but because it unlocked more value and helped further my own education. By becoming an AccountingCoach PRO member and learning the basics of accounting and bookkeeping, I was able to save thousands of dollars hiring other people. This program pays for itself." - Don J.
