Tagesbasis

Tagesbasis is a German noun meaning "daily basis" and is used to describe a calculation, rate, or measurement defined per day. The term is a compound of Tag (day) and Basis (basis) and is commonly used with the preposition auf to indicate the daily scope.

The concept appears across several fields, including accounting, payroll, pricing, and service contracts. For example, prices can be quoted on a Tagesbasis, wages can be calculated on a Tagesbasis, and costs for a project can be estimated per day. Using Tagesbasis keeps figures tied to a single-day interval rather than longer periods.

On a Tagesbasis contrasts with other bases such as Monatsbasis (monthly basis), Jahresbasis (annual basis), and Stundenbasis (hourly basis). The chosen basis affects how totals are aggregated and compared over time and can influence budgeting, invoicing, and performance reporting.

Usage notes: in German, the form is typically written as Tagesbasis and used in phrases such as auf Tagesbasis or auf Tagesbasis gerechnet. The English equivalents are "on a daily basis" or "per day."
