# Rates

## Rate Terms

The Rates tab shows the subscriber’s current rate, available rates, and the different rate terms. For example, the following example shows a 1-week term, a 4-week term, and a 13-week term.

The *Show On Renewal* and *Show On Invoice* columns indicate whether the term will appear on the subscriber’s renewal notice or invoice: it may always appear, never appear, or appear only if the subscriber previously paid with this term.

If your rates vary by day of week, double-clicking on a rate term will display rate amounts or percentages by day of week. Yearly, quarterly, and monthly terms will have percentages for each day of the week, while day terms will have amounts. Weekly terms can have either amounts or percentages, depending on how the term is defined. Click Find to view rate terms for a different rate.

For combo subscriptions, the amounts by day for each component of the combo are shown when you expand the Amounts By Day. As well, when you expand the Tax By Day, any applicable taxes for any component product are shown.

If any of the rate terms contain bonus day premium amounts ([Bonus Day Adjustment](https://docs.navigaglobal.com/circulation-user-manual/11-utilities/subscription-address-menu/bonus-day-adjustment#premium-day)), a Premium Day column displays, with the total amount of all premium days included in each term.

If the **CreditCardSurcharge** add-on is activated and the required **Business Rules** are configured, an additional column, **CC Total Amount**, appears in the **Rate Terms** section of the **Rates** tab.

* This column displays the total payment amount including the Credit Card surcharge and surcharge tax, calculated as follows:

  **CC Total Amount = (Base Amount + Premium Amount) × (1 + Fee Percentage) × (1 + Tax Percentage)**

  The surcharge is applied to both the Base Amount and the Premium Day amount. When the surcharge is configured as taxable, the surcharge tax is included in the CC Total Amount. The surcharge percentage is defined in the Business Rule **"What is the default percent to use for Cash Discount?"** in the **Subscriber Payments** section.
* Two additional columns, **CC Surcharge** and **CC Surcharge Tax**, are also displayed in the Rate Terms subtab when the above conditions are met. These columns show the Credit Card surcharge amount and the surcharge tax amount separately.<br>

## Price Quotes

Customers sometimes ask for price quotes; for example, how much they can buy for a given amount of money. To get a quote, click on the Price Quote tab. You can find a quote for a certain number of days, or for a certain amount. For example, the customer might be in town for 40 days, or only want to spend 30.00.

This feature shows potential rates and terms—it does not start or renew subscriptions. The rate and term quoted can be printed on the subscriber’s invoice or renewal (if you click the Create Quote button), but this is the only effect of the operation.

## Available Rates

The Rates tab can also display rates available to a subscriber (on the Available Rates sub-tab). It uses address, occupant, and subscription information (if available) to find valid rates, based on the subscriber rating rules. This is useful when customers ask what rates and terms are available. To display the rates available to a subscriber, click the Get Rates button, enter the product, delivery schedule and delivery placement (or keep the defaults), and click OK. The available rates are then displayed.
