Anteilig

Anteilig is a German adverb and adjective meaning proportionally, in proportion to a share or contribution. It describes a way of allocating costs, revenues, risks, or benefits based on each participant's relative stake or usage, rather than dividing them equally.

Etymology: The word derives from Anteil (share, portion) with the suffix -ig, forming a term that emphasizes proportional allocation.

Usage: In contracts, accounting and budgeting, anteilig is used to indicate that amounts are calculated and distributed on a proportional basis. It is common in partnerships, rental agreements, insurance settlements, and tax calculations. Phrases such as anteilig berechnet, anteilig verteilt, or anteilig getragen are typical.

Example: If three partners own 60 percent, 25 percent and 15 percent of a business, a total annual cost of 10,000 euros would be allocated anteilig: 6,000 euros, 2,500 euros and 1,500 euros respectively.

Relation: Related concepts include pro rata, quotale, Anteil, prozentual, and anteilsmäßig. While anteilig emphasizes proportionality, pro rata is its closest Latin-based borrowing used in financial contexts.
