Full origin of pro rated →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.
