1. What is Pay Per Second?

Pay Per Second (PPS) is a measure of how much money you earn for each second of work. It's calculated by dividing your total paycheck by the total number of seconds worked.

The calculator uses the PPS formula:

Where:

• \( Paycheck \) — Total earnings (in your currency)
• \( Hours \) — Total hours worked
• \( 3600 \) — Conversion factor (seconds in an hour)
