I'm currently on an annual contract, but when I upgradeWhen the monthly contract unit price is applied

If your current contract is an annual contract (e.g. Starter or Standard), depending on the nature and conditions of the addition (e.g. you only want to add people for 3 months before the contract is renewed), you may be billed for the additionalUnlimitedIt's not the unit price.monthly amount of moneyThe unit price will be applied.

(Calculation example 1) I want to change from annual starter 100 to starter 200 in the middle of the contract period (the contract period remains unchanged).

The payment amount in Calculation Example 1 is calculated according to the following calculation.

monthly amount of moneyPer year of ÷ 365 (pro-rated) × Remaining days

60,000　÷ 365 × 171 days = 28,109.58904 =>28,109 yen

 

*"*monthly amount of moneyper year" means, for example, 60,000 yen, which is 12 months of the monthly contract unit price of 5,000 yen (excluding tax) for the Starter Plan.

Now let's explain the above calculation example.

(Contract amount of the new plan to be used from the day of upgrade to the next renewal date): June 1, 2020 - May 31, 2021
⇒Starter 200 (1 year)60,000 yen

(pro-rated amount based on the annual unit price of the unused portion of the old plan): June 1, 2020 - November 18, 2020
⇒30,000 ÷ 365 × 171 days = 14,054.794514,054 yen

  (per year ÷ daily rate × remaining days =)

(Contract amount of the new plan to be used from the day of the upgrade to the next renewal date) - (pro-rated amount based on the annual unit price of the unused portion of the old plan) = invoice amount
