A: There are 52 weeks in a year, and biweekly pay means every 2 weeks, resulting in 26 pay periods (52/2 = 26).

A: The 26-paycheck system already accounts for this - two months each year will have three paychecks.

Q4: How does this differ from monthly to annual?
A: Monthly to annual would multiply by 12, but biweekly is different since pay periods don't align perfectly with months.
