Frequently Asked Questions

Is it "pro rated" or "prorated"?

Prorated as one word is the standard spelling in American English and in most style guides. Pro rated and pro-rated appear informally but look like errors in edited writing.

How is a pro rated refund calculated?

You divide the amount paid by the full period covered, then multiply by the portion left unused. On a £120 annual plan cancelled after three months, nine unused months give a refund of £90.
