Cotermination Calculations

When multiple lines are coterminated, a formula is applied for calculating the price.

Renewal price

The renewal price is calculated based on the cost per day in the original active term that is multiplied by the number of days in the new active term. Optionally, you can also multiply it by an uplift factor to apply a discount or price increase.

Formula
Renewal price = Cost per day in the old active term X Number of days in the new term X Uplift factor
where
Original active term = Term end date - Term start date
New active term = Date on which the original active term ends until the term end date

Example

A line that you want to coterminate has some of the following terms.

Table 1. Original values before cotermination
Term Value
Original start date 09/01/2004
Original end date 02/28/2005
Required cotermination date 12/31/2005
Original active term price $6000 (Then current pricing)
Uplift factor 1.1 (for 10%)

The following values are calculated based on Table 1.

Table 2. Calculated values
Term Value
New term start date 03/01/2005
New term end date 12/31/2005
New number of days 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 306
Original number of days 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 = 181
Price for new active term (original term price that is uplifted and prorated to new term) 6000 × 1.1 × (306 /181 Days) = $11,158.01
