semiannually

Every six months

Semiannually means twice a year, occurring every six months: Interest is compounded semiannually.

The word appears most often in financial and administrative contexts—payments, reports, reviews.

Not to be confused with biannually, which can mean either twice a year or every two years, making semiannually the clearer choice when precision matters.
