Question 1

How do I convert fortnightly pay to annual salary?

Accepted Answer

Multiply your fortnightly pay by 26. For example, $2,500 per fortnight × 26 = $65,000 per year. There are 26 fortnights in a year.

Question 2

How many fortnights are in a year?

Accepted Answer

There are 26 fortnights in a year (52 weeks ÷ 2 = 26). This is why annual salary ÷ 26 gives you your fortnightly pay.
