# Charging period

The charging period object will give you roughly the information that you see when you hover over a charge total on an opportunity. It lets you know how a charge total was calculated.

In the example above, we see:

> Days: $11.20 x 2\
> Weeks: $56.00 x 7

We can break this into `name`, `rate`, and `count` objects:

| Name  | Rate  | Count |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Days  | 11.20 | 2     |
| Weeks | 56.00 | 7     |

While many rates will have just one period (e.g. a daily rate), charging period objects are printed using a forloop for cases like above where there are multiple periods.

When using a rate that uses a daily multiplier engine, the count object gives you the multiplier.

### Document layouts

    {% for period in item.charging_period %}
      {{ period.count }} {{ period.name }}
    {% endfor %}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
```

#### Product

```
{% for period in product.charging_periods %}
  {{ period.name }}
{% endfor %}
```

### Discussion templates
