Example Output
Macro: Mid-Cycle Upgrade
Hi {{first_name}}, I checked the invoice and the extra amount is a prorated charge for the upgrade from {{old_plan}} to {{new_plan}} for the remaining {{days_remaining}} days in your billing period.
You were credited {{credit_amount}} for unused time on the old plan, then charged {{new_plan_amount}} for the remaining time on the new plan. That leaves a net charge of {{net_amount}} today. Your next renewal is still {{renewal_date}} unless you make another plan change.
Agent Math Check
Old plan unused credit: $18.40
New plan remaining charge: $42.75
Net today: $24.35
Next invoice: $99.00 plus applicable tax on Aug 1
Escalate If
The billing system line items do not match the plan-change timestamp, tax looks duplicated, the customer changed through an app store, or the policy exception requires approval.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Use dates and line items from the billing system, not mental math alone.
- 💡Explain credits before charges so customers can see the net amount.
- 💡Keep app-store subscription scenarios separate because policies and control differ.
- 💡Tag confusion reasons so product and billing teams can improve invoice language.
