1. What is Wage Per Second?

Wage Per Second (WPS) calculates how much a worker earns per second based on their daily wage in the Philippines. This helps in understanding the precise value of time for hourly workers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the WPS equation:

Where:

• \( WPS \) — Wage per second (PHP/s)
• \( Daily \) — Daily wage in Philippine Peso (PHP/day)
• 8 — Standard working hours per day
• 3600 — Seconds in one hour

Explanation: The equation converts daily wage to per-second earnings by dividing by the total seconds in a standard 8-hour workday.

3. Importance of WPS Calculation

Details: Calculating wage per second helps workers and employers understand the precise value of time, useful for calculating partial day payments or understanding time efficiency.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter daily wage in Philippine Peso (PHP). The value must be greater than 0.
