# Calculation Cutoff Time

## Definition

The Cutoff Time is 14 days after the End of the [Qualifying Period](#qualifying-period).\
Any changes after that will not be considered in calculation.\
If there are any changes after the Cutoff Time that would result in a higher Compensation or higher Rank, the additional Compensation is lost.\
After the Cutoff Time, the Calculation for this Qualifying Period will be frozen.
