# Fee Discount - Discount by Code

# Fee Discount - Discount by Code

Providers can offer discounted rate for Families as a promotion to increase enrolments or for early bookings for e.g. Vacation Care.

|| Find out more about here [Managing other third-party payments & discounts.](https://www.education.gov.au/early-childhood/providers/howto/manage-payments-fees/third-party-payments-discounts/other-discounts)

How the Fee Discount works:
* Is a [non-prescribed discount](https://www.education.gov.au/early-childhood/providers/howto/manage-payments-fees/third-party-payments-discounts/other-discounts)
* Is applied before CCS calculation so will reduce a Families CCS payment
* **Will** reduce a family’s CCS entitlement

|| You must deduct the contribution from the total session fee before you report the discount. The family’s CCS percentage will then be applied to the reduced session fee.

###### Scenario

Amy has enrolled her child Tracey to the Service.
CCS% of **60%**, and normal Gap would be **$100.00**.
As this is a Fee Discount, you need to reduce the Total Session/Fee of **$100.00** before reporting.
Before the Discount is applied CCS would be $60, and the Gap would be $40, after the Discount is applied the Fee reported will be $90, CCS paid will be $54 and new Gap $36.


**Example calculation**
| **Description** | **Amount** |
| Total Fee - before discount | $100.00 |
| Family CCS (60% of $100.00) - before discount | $60.00 |
| Gap Fee before discount | $40.00 |
| Welcome10% Discount code applied | $12.50 |
| **New Reported Fee** | **$90.00** |
| **New CCS (60% of $90.00) - after discount** | **$54.00** |
| **New Gap to be paid (based off of reduced fee)** | **$36.00** |
