When a recurring cost’s effective date starts or ends mid-month, Tango uses a proration method to calculate the partial-period amount. The proration method is set on each recurring cost record.

Available proration methods

CPI proration considerations

When a CPI adjustment is retroactive (effective before the last processed payment), Tango calculates a catch-up amount. The proration method on the recurring cost controls how the catch-up is computed for any partial periods in the retroactive window. The catch-up amount is presented in the Calculate Adjustment pop-up before you apply the change, so you can verify it before committing.

Billing proration

For receivable leases, the same proration methods apply to billings. Prorated billings reflect the tenant’s actual days of occupancy in a partial period.

How to set the proration method

The Prorate Method field is on each recurring cost record in Lease Details → Recurring Costs. Set it when creating the recurring cost or update it at any time (changes apply to future generated payments).
Changes to the proration method on an existing recurring cost do not retroactively change already-generated payment records.

CPI index calculation reference

When a CPI adjustment is calculated, the actual increase percentage follows this formula:
The result is then constrained by the Floor Increase % and Ceiling Increase % if those fields are populated. The new period amount is:
