How the conversion works

Yearly pay = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year. With 40 hours and 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours. Monthly = yearly ÷ 12; twice a month = yearly ÷ 24; every two weeks = weekly × 2.

For reference, the U.S. federal government computes hourly rates by dividing annual basic pay by 2,087 hours, the average number of work hours in a year (OPM fact sheet). The page shows that figure too.
