This is the professional tip. It's agreed upon by every single market. Calculating it any other way does not make your books more accurate.

365.2425/7/12 = 4.348125 would be the correct calculation by that logic, but I think it's a stupid calculation.

You agree on a price or wage or whatnot by day, week, month whatever and you need to calculate it the way you write the agreement, converting it makes no sense.

If you have rent X/month, you can't pay less just because it's February.
