Morphology
The meaning 'amount of money paid per unit/time' is directly derivable from combining 'payment' (giving money) with 'rate' (price or charge per unit/time). This noun+noun compositional pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to understand the MWE.
Etymology
The compound noun payment rate joins payment, meaning 'money you get for work', and rate, meaning 'a fixed measure or price', so it literally describes the 'amount of money paid' for each hour, day, or month.
