日にっ当とう
日当 (にっとう) is a different word meaning 'daily allowance' or 'per diem', often used in business contexts. 日当たり (ひあたり) with the 'per day' meaning is a more casual, less formal alternative.

Etymology

Compound of 日 (ひ, 'sun') + 当たり (あたり, nominalized form of 当たる 'to hit, shine on'). The 'per day' sense is a separate development using 日 (ひ, 'day') + 当たり (あたり, 'per, allocation').
