Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'rate' (price per unit/time) combined with 'payment' (money given) linked by the relational 'of' yields the amount paid per unit or period. This compositional noun-of-noun pattern is common across languages and follows standard English semantics, so a B1 learner who knows the parts should understand it.
Etymology
The noun rate of payment comes from the simple idea of measuring money by time or job: rate means how much and payment means the money you get, like 'five dollars per hour'. So, it means 'the amount of money paid for each hour or service'.
