This depends on the time signature the music is written in. If the bottom number of the time signature is 8, then an eighth rest gets one beat. If the bottom number is 4, then it gets 1/2 beat. To get the value of a note/rest in any time signature, divide the bottom number of the time signature by the note name.

a half beat
In 4/4 time, an eighth rest is worth half a beat (or count). Depending on the time signature, the number of beats/counts it receives will vary.
