I'm trying to understand prorated charges better. Could you provide me with an example of a prorated charge so I can grasp the concept more clearly?

Applying this to our example, the prorated charge for the six-month period would be calculated as half of the annual fee. Therefore, the customer would be charged $60, accurately reflecting their usage of the service for the remainder of the year.

Prorated charges are a common practice in various subscription-based services, ensuring customers pay only for the period they utilize the service. In the context of annual subscriptions, this mechanism offers flexibility and fairness to both the service provider and the consumer.

Consider an instance where a customer decides to subscribe to a service that typically costs $120 per annum. This fee is based on a full year's access to the service's offerings.

However, if the customer initiates their subscription in the middle of the year, it would be unfair to charge them the full amount since they are not receiving the service for the entire 12-month period. This is where prorated billing comes into play.

Under a prorated billing system, the customer would be charged based on the remaining time left in the year. For instance, if the customer subscribes in June, they would only be liable for the remaining six months of the year.
