A: “You will receive your wage until Friday” isn’t correct in what you are trying to say. It’s unnatural and means that if today is Monday, you will be paid every day except Friday and you will stop being paid on Friday.

A: Salary is how much you are paid each year. If you have an annual salary of $60,000, your monthly wage would be $5,000.

Wage can also be determined per hour. Hourly wage is generally given for lower paying jobs. For example, a McDonald's employee may receive an hourly wage of $8.00.

A: 1) Income is money earned with no specific pay period implied. If someone asked me my income, I could answer in hourly, monthly or yearly amounts without causing confusion, but I might want to ask a question to clarify which they want to know about.

2) Wage usually implies an hourly amount, for example $12/hour (twelve dollars per/an hour). People are often used to comparing wages between certain types of jobs (fast food worker vs. plumbers) as they are usually paid by the hour. Up to a maximum (usually 40 hours a week) workers are paid the same rate. If they work more, it is common for them to get paid "time and a half" which is their usual (base) pay plus 1.5 times their wage. This varies from job to job.

3) Salary usually implies either a monthly or yearly amount. Salaried workers are paid a fixed amount of money for either of those periods and if they work overtime (more than 40 hours a week) they do not get additional money. The trade-off is that they can count on a more consistent income (see #1).
