Types of Contribution Calculations
We introduce different modes for contribution calculations for contract rest periods so that you can decide how rest periods affect your members' contributions.
Full Contribution Calculation
For example, if the weekly payment schedule is selected with Monday as the standard due date, then the first Monday that falls within the service period will always be used as the due date.
If a rest period is defined, the original standard due date remains unchanged. This means that after the rest period, the next regular due date will be maintained according to tariff logic.
To allow more flexibility, a new standard due date type has been introduced: “Start of the Service Period”. When used, the due date dynamically shifts with the service period.
Partial Contribution Calculation
In the partial contribution calculation, the membership contribution is split based on the defined rest period. The proportional contribution is calculated both before and after the rest period.
Dynamic Contribution Calculation
The dynamic contribution calculation selects between full and partial contribution calculation depending on the payment schedule.
- A full calculation is applied if the payment schedule is longer than one month.
- A partial calculation is applied for payment schedules of one month or less.
This ensures that contribution calculations adjust flexibly to the contract structure.
