Suppose Days = 29, Hours = 2, Minutes = 30, Rate = 500, and  Hours in Day= 8. 

= [(Days*Rate) + {Hours*(Rate/Hours In Day)} +  [Minutes*{(Rate/Hours in Day)/60}] ]

= [(29*500) + {2*(500/8)} + [30*{(500/8)/60}]]

=[14500+125+31.25]

14,656.25 round off = 14657/-.

 

Per Hour Rate 

Suppose Days = 29, Hours = 2, Minutes = 30, Rate = 125, and  Hours in Day= 4. 

= [{Days*(Rate*Hours In Day)}+(Hours*Rate)+{Minutes*(Rate/60)}]

=[{29*(125*4)} + (2*125) + {30*(125/60)}]

=[14500 + 250 + 62.5]
