# MCR Billing

> This help topic describes Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) billing details.

Megaport charges a recurring monthly flat fee based on the MCR provisioned services consumed hourly in the course of the previous month.

The billing starts as soon as the MCR is in live status. Each month, you are billed a flat fee for each MCR.
MCR is charged on a postpaid basis. For example, if you place your order on January 15, your first invoice will be issued on February 1, and the charge will cover the period from January 15 to January 31.

<Note>
  If any contract term changes occurred within the month, billing will reflect a sum of the charges. Megaport incorporates a cap of 28 days per month to calculate the percentage allocation of the rate charged.
</Note>

For more information, see [MCR Pricing and Contract Terms](/finance/mcr-pricing).

## Cancellation

You can cancel an MCR at any time. Canceling an MCR on a contract term will result in an early termination fee (ETF) equivalent to 100% of the remainder of the term. For more information, see [Terminating an MCR](/mcr/terminating-mcr/).
