Interestingly, research shows that most humans eat between three to five pounds of food per day. Indeed, as we approach four pounds of food intake for the day, most of us are feeling pretty satisfied.
1 Semi-monthly (or Bi-monthly): Semi-monthly paychecks are issued twice a month, often on the 1st and the 15th of the month. 2  Thus there are 24 semi-monthly pay periods in a year.
You can figure out gross pay for the year, month, two weeks, week, even day if you desire, if you know how many hours you worked during that same period of time. 1  As an example, letâs say you worked 25 hours last week for a part time job â in fact, youâve worked the same 25 hours per week for the past year. So, if you want to have $2,100 in take-home pay each month, your target is to earn $2,800 per month ($700 weekly) in gross pay. 2  Please note that this method only provides an approximation, and works best when your current pay and desired pay amounts are close.
