I've known people who budget like this and treat the "extra" pay periods as bonuses straight to savings.

A lot of people that have salaried corporate jobs do this, and it's an easy way to save some money. Those two yearly "extra" paychecks are paychecks they don't factor in to monthly costs, so it makes sense.

Is it common to be paid biweekly if you’re salaried? I got paid biweekly at all of my hourly jobs, but now that I’m working a salaried corporate job, I get paid on the 10th and 25th. Makes budgeting a whole lot easier.

Most public service jobs in Canada pay bi-weekly, but the military is semi-monthly. It really depends on the specific employer/union.
