What is Proration or Prorated Billing?

Prorated Billing is a way of creating fair charges to reflect changes mid billing period. For example, if a customer joins in the last half of the billing period, a prorated billing system would only charge for the half that the customer used the service rather than the entire billing period.

How does TimelyBill use Prorated Billing?

TimelyBill’s billing and invoice generation system calculates a customer's recurring and non-recurring charges, taxes, discounts and more. If a company chooses to opt into proration, TimelyBill can quickly and easily account for day-by-day payment.
