Budgeting advise for paychecks?

Recently, my wife got a new job. Previously, we were both getting our paychecks semi-monthly...but now, she is getting hers bi-weekly and mine is still semi-monthly. We have a budget set up for semi-monthly paychecks. Is there a good spreadsheet template that allows for both bi-weekly and semi-monthly incomes??

@Go with the flow
With our bills, we don't even have 20% of our income to save. Hell, we are basically living paycheck-to-paycheck. There's nothing we can do about that until our debts are paid down (student loans, mortgage, loans, etc.). Plus, we have a daughter who is 1 year old and I am Hypoglycemic, so the whole not eating thing won't work lol.

Multiply the amount of the check by 26 to set it to yearly then divide by 24 to convert it to semi-monthly.

I never budgeted - just offering a different point of view.
If I could not save 20% of my pay - I would not eat.
Simple, simple, simple.
