Calculating the amount payable
If you have a Starter Plan contract that started on 1st April 2022 you pay $150AUD (plus any taxes). Then upgrade your subscription to a Small Plan $500AUD (plus any taxes) from 1st June 2022. The example below excludes any taxes for simplicity sake.
  • $150AUD /12 = $12.50 per month
  • You will get credit for $137.50
  • Because you only have to pay for 11 months of Small Plan (renewal date is 1 April 2023).
  • $500AUD / 12  = $41.66
  • $41.66 x 11 = $458.33
  • $458.33 - $137.50 = $320.83 payable (until 1 April 2023 when $500 is due).
*If you are upgrading from one paid plan to another, you will receive a pro-rata credit on your account based on your renewal date, for the unused portion of your existing subscription.


*You will find all the inclusions of our new plans on the MoodleCloud website.
