- Rate (mathematics) In mathematics, a rate is a ratio between two measurements, often with different units.. If the unit or quantity in respect of which something is changing is not specified, usually the rate is per unit time. However, a rate of change can be specified per unit time, or per unit of length or mass or another quantity. The most common type of rate is &, a specific kind of ratio, in which two measurements are related to each other
- 'Rates' as in British Council Tax - see Council_Tax#Rates Council Tax is the system of local taxation used in England, Scotland and Wales to part fund the services provided by local government in each country.

- Rate of speed In physics, velocity is the rate of change of position. It is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. In the SI system, it is measured in meters per second: (m/s) or ms−1. The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed. For example, "5 meters per second" is a scalar and not a (velocity), in physics
- Naval rating A Naval Rating is an enlisted member of a country's Navy, subordinate to Warrant Officers and Officers hence not conferred by commission or warrant.

- Rate function In mathematics — specifically, in large deviations theory — a rate function is a function used to quantify the probabilities of rare events. It is required to have several "nice" properties which assist in the formulation of the large deviation principle. In some sense, the large deviation principle is an analogue of weak convergence, a function used to quantify the probabilities of rare event
- Rates (tax) Rates are a type of taxation system in the United Kingdom, and in places with systems deriving from the British one, the proceeds of which are used to fund local government. Some other countries have taxes with a more or less comparable role, for example France's taxe d'habitation, a type of taxation system used to fund local government

- Birth rate According to the United Nations' World Population Prospects: The 2008 Revision Population Database, crude birth rate is the number of births over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period. It is expressed as number of births per 1,000 population. CBR =, the natality or childbirths per 1,000 people per year
- Mortality rate Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths in some population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus, a mortality rate of 9.5 in a population of 100,000 would mean 950 deaths per year in that entire population. It is distinct from, a measure of the number of deaths in some population
