Matching jars to your paychecks

Weekly, every two weeks or monthly.

4 min read

If you're paid every two weeks, you get 26 paychecks a year, not 24.

Converting

  • Monthly amount x 12 / 26 = amount per paycheck (every two weeks)
  • Monthly amount x 12 / 52 = amount per weekly paycheck
  • Monthly amount / 2 = amount per paycheck (twice a month)

Bonus paychecks

In the two months with three paychecks, consider sending the extra one to your jars or emergency fund.
