Dynamic formula to change calculation based on a dropdown (Hourly vs Daily vs Weekly vs Monthly)

​I am trying to modify my childcare tracker with a dynamic formula that tracks the cost ($B$1250) per Hour, Day, Week, or Month from a dropdown menu in cell $C$1249.

Currently the rows 1255 and 1263 (plus many more) contain formulas such as =SUM(D1253:D1254)*$B$1250. In this hourly pay scale, I just put the number of hours I need for each day, but of course that would change based on pay type.

Is there a dynamic SWITCH or IFS formula I can use in those rows, or am I just nuking things? I know I could also add more rows Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly rows and just sum them, but I figured that would become an even more excessive eyesore.
