semi-monthly

Every two weeks

Semi-monthly means occurring twice a month, typically at fixed intervals like the 1st and 15th: semi-monthly pay periods, a semi-monthly newsletter.

The term is sometimes confused with bimonthly, which can mean either twice a month or every two months.

Semi-monthly is clearer when you mean twice monthly.
