Definition

For pro rata calculations, the calculation method specifies whether 30 days or the actual number of days of the month are used for calculating the whole month.

Use

30 days for every month is set:

Calculation base is always 30 days.

For exact day is set:

Calculation base is always the number of days of the respective month.

If the calculation method is not specified, calculations are made based on a 30-day month.

Dependencies

A calculation is only made if a pro rata calculation is set in the Pro rata field.

Example

Contract term    02/15/95 - 12/15/95

Condition amount:    1000

Prorated calculation:     Contract start and contract end pro rata

Calculation method:    30 days per month

In this case 533.33 (16/30 of 1000) is determined as the amount for February, 1000 for March to November, and for 500 (15/30 of 1000) for December.

If you use the calculation method for exact day instead, the amount determined for February is 500 (14/28 of 1000) and 483.87 (15/31 of 1000) for December.

If you change the prorated calculation, the amount is 1000 for the non-proportionate periods independent of the calculation method.
