Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my monthly budget differ from my biweekly paycheck?
Biweekly workers receive 26 checks a year, which means two months per year have three paychecks instead of two. Monthly salary divides total annual earnings evenly across all 12 calendar months.
What are considered pre-tax payroll deductions?
Pre-tax deductions include traditional 401(k) or 403(b) contributions, employee-sponsored health, dental, and vision insurance premiums, FSA, and HSA contributions.
