This will only be applicable for the following options in the Frequency dropdown list: Daily, Weekly, Every other Week, Monthly, Yearly, One Time.
Keeping any of these fields blank and clicking on the Calculate button will show an error message.

The calculation will be done for the overlapping date range between the Service Support and the ‘Cost of Service Calculator’ subsection.
The Count of Frequency is calculated based on the values of Service Date range and Frequency rules. The Total Cost is calculated by multiplying Service Amount, Rate, and Count of Frequency for the selected date range. The values in the Monthly Total column are calculated in the same manner for each month covered during the selected date range.
If Weekly or Every other Week is selected as the Frequency and the selected date range covers a fraction of weeks, then the Monthly Total will be calculated by rounding up. If Yearly or One Time is selected as the Frequency and the Service Date range spans multiple months, then the cost will be added to all the months in the Monthly Total column.
If Start Date and End Date are entered in the Individual Plan and then the Individual Plan is saved, the dates will be populated in the Start Date and the End Date fields of the ‘Cost of Service Calculator’ subsection.
Users will receive error messages if a valid date range has not been selected for Start Date and End Date fields in the ‘Cost of Service Calculator’ subsection.
