When you upgrade or downgrade your subscription, you may see prorated charges on your bill. These charges adjust your payment based on the time spent on each subscription plan within your billing period.
How Prorated Charges Work
Prorated charges ensure you are billed fairly when switching plans mid-cycle. This means:
✔ You receive credit for unused time on your previous plan.
✔ You are charged for the remaining time on your new plan.
Example: Upgrading Your Subscription
🔹 Current Plan: $10 per month
🔹 New Plan: $20 per month
🔹 Upgrade Date: Halfway through your billing cycle
Breakdown of Proration:
- Credit for Unused Time on the Previous Plan
- You used the $10 plan for half the month, so you get a $5 credit for the unused portion.
- Charge for Remaining Time on the New Plan
- The new $20 plan applies to the second half of the month, so you are charged $10 for that time.
Final Prorated Charge Calculation:
- $5 (credit) - $10 (new charge) = -$5 total charge
Why This Matters
Understanding prorated charges helps prevent billing confusion when making subscription changes. These adjustments ensure you only pay for what you use.
