It is compounded twice a year. The formula is A=P(1+rt) P is how much is put in, r is the percentage as a decimal, t is how many times it is compounded a year so in this case it would be 2.
So if deposited $1000 in a bank at 8% that is compounded semi annually, the formula would look like this. A=$1000(1+.08(2))
