Prorated means dividing or allocating a quantity, cost, or benefit proportionally based on the amount of time or usage involved. For example, if a service fee is paid monthly but someone uses only part of the month, the fee is adjusted to reflect the actual time used. This ensures fairness by matching costs or benefits to the actual period or amount involved, which can impact how investors evaluate expenses, returns, or value.
