Prorate an annual subscription refund
When a subscriber cancels early, the unused portion of the annual fee is refunded proportionally.
- Refund equals annualAmount × (12 − monthsUsed) ÷ 12, using integer division (floor).
- monthsUsed is clamped to the range 0..12 before computing.
- monthsUsed 0 yields the full annualAmount; monthsUsed 12 yields 0.
prorateRefund(annualAmount: int, monthsUsed: int) → int
Where you start
function prorateRefund(annualAmount, monthsUsed) {
