If a job offers $33,800/year, that's $1,300 per biweekly paycheck (26 pay periods). Some employers pay semi-monthly (24 periods) -- in that case the same annual salary gives you $1,408 per paycheck, slightly higher. Always confirm whether a salary offer is paid biweekly (/26) or semi-monthly (/24).
