Bimonthly repeating calendar or reminders events.

Can I program recurrent events using calendar or reminders for reminding to me with a bimonthly option (day 15 and the last day of the month) in just one event as for example my paycheck?

I know there is an option “Every 2 weeks” but every 2 weeks isn't the same as bimonthly because every 2 weeks means every 14 days and this option isn’t useful. I also know I can program 2 separate recurrent events (day 15 and last day of the month) but is not what the iOS must offer for simplicity.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

As you have learned, that is not possible on the native Calendar app. There are a number of calendar apps available for free and cost in the App Store. One my son uses as a Professor at a university is Fantastical. It has a large number of options you can use for events and reminders. You may want to take a look at it. You also have the option to provide feedback to Apple suggesting the feature. If you wish to provide feedback to Apple regarding a change you would like to see, a change you didn’t like, or report a bug, then use the feedback link here, Feedback - iPhone - Apple
