Pro‑rating of entitlement
 (2) The number of domestic return trips for the purposes of the table in subsection (1) is:
 (a) for table item 1—the number of trips worked out using the formula in subsection (2A); or
 (b) for table item 2—the lower of the number of trips worked out using that formula, and the difference between:
 (i) the maximum number of trips specified in the relevant item of the table in Part 2 for a spouse or de facto partner of the retired former Prime Minister; and
 (ii) the number of trips (if any) already taken in the year by a spouse or de facto partner of the retired former Prime Minister previously nominated under section 9B.
 (2A) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), the formula is:

where:
remaining period means the period:
 (a) beginning on the day worked out using the table; and
 (b) ending at the end of the year.
 (3) A number worked out using the formula is to be rounded to the nearest whole number that is greater than zero (rounding up in the case exactly half‑way between 2 whole numbers).

 (4) For the purposes of the application of item 1 or 2 of the table in section 11 to a former member to whom subsection 4C(6) or (7) applies, if the 72 or 36 months (the maximum term) specified in paragraph (c) of that subsection will end during a year, the item has effect for that year as if the number of domestic return trips specified in the item were the number worked out using the formula:
where:
eligible period means the period:
 (a) beginning at the start of that year; and
 (b) ending at the end of the maximum term.
Note: Under section 4C, a Parliamentary Retirement Travel Entitlement may expire before the end of the maximum term. This subsection is not to be taken to
