[From PRO RATA.]
proratable pro·rat'a·ble adj.In general: allocate proportionally.
Magazines: process of calculating the price or term of a subscription, based upon a payment or a period of time other than the standard one-, two-, or three-year term and price offers. For example, if a magazine costs $24 for 12 issues and only 6 issues are ordered, the prorated price is $12. Similarly, if $18 is sent by the subscriber in payment, the term of the subscription will be prorated to 9 issues. Marketers usually prorate the term of subscriptions for which an underpayment or overpayment is received, rather than refund the difference or try to collect the remaining amount due.
