To prorate months, determine the daily rate by dividing the monthly rate by the number of days in the month. Multiply this daily rate by the number of days used or needed. For instance, if rent is $1,000 and the month has 30 days, the daily rate is $33.33. For 10 days, the prorated amount is $333.30. This method ensures fair billing based on precise usage.
