pro rata
Describes that something is divided, calculated, or assigned according to a specific share or quota. It means that someone or something receives a part of the whole that corresponds to their participation or entitlement.
Die Kosten für die Reparatur des Daches werden anteilig auf alle Wohnungseigentümer umgelegt.
The costs for repairing the roof are allocated pro rata to all apartment owners.
The word is made up of 'der Anteil' (the share) and the ending '-ig'. So it describes something that relates to a share or is divided into shares.
Jeder Miteigentümer muss einen anteiligen Beitrag zu den Nebenkosten leisten.
Each co-owner must make a proportional contribution to the service charges.
'Anteilig' (pro rata) is very often used as an adverb to describe how an action is carried out. It usually comes directly before or after the verb.
Die Miete für den letzten Monat wird nur anteilig berechnet.
The rent for the final month will only be calculated pro rata.
This word is often used in financial or administrative contexts. Typical verbs are 'anteilig berechnen' (to calculate pro rata), 'anteilig zahlen' (to pay pro rata), 'anteilig tragen' (to bear proportionally), or 'anteilig umlegen' (to allocate pro rata).
Wenn du früher ausziehst, musst du die Miete für diesen Monat nur anteilig zahlen.
If you move out earlier, you only have to pay the rent for this month pro rata.

'teilweise' and 'anteilig' both have to do with a part of a whole. 'teilweise' generally says that something does not apply completely or happens only in part. 'anteilig' is more specific and is mainly used when something is calculated, distributed, or paid according to a certain share. The words can be confused because both refer to less than the whole. But 'anteilig' usually requires a division or quota. For general statements, 'teilweise' is more natural; for costs, profits, vacation days, or distribution, 'anteilig' fits better.
Wenn Lisa früher auszieht, bezahlt sie die Miete nur anteilig.
If Lisa moves out early, she pays only a pro rata share of the rent.
Der Weg in die Stadt ist teilweise gesperrt.
