Prorated billing is a method used to calculate charges for services or subscriptions based on the portion of the billing period that has been utilized. It ensures fairness for both the customer and the service provider.

For instance, consider a scenario where a customer subscribes to a monthly service with a billing date set for December 10th. However, the customer initiates the subscription on November 23rd.

In this case, the customer would not be charged the full monthly fee of $20, as they have not used the service for the entire month. Instead, a prorated amount is calculated to reflect the actual usage period.

The calculation involves dividing the monthly fee by the total number of days in the month (let's assume 30 days for simplicity) and then multiplying this daily rate by the number of days the customer has used the service.

Applying this to our example, the daily rate is $20/30 days = $0.66 per day. The customer has used the service for 17 days (from November 23rd to December 10th).
