French term or phrase: modalité de fixation du forfait de rémunération
This is part of a procurement contract. I am thinking "method of calculation of payment terms" but that sounds "heavy" to me.

neutral  Tony M: 'compensation' is risky, without more context: it usually only means 'remunération' when talking about e.g. people / salaries, but depending on context, could make it appear to be 'indemnisation'?

neutral  philgoddard: This is OK, and it's common sense, so it doesn't need references. The meaning of 'compensation' is clear from the context. However, the repetition of "term" sounds slightly awkward, and "terms for" is redundant, since that's what a contract is.

Explanation:
You could possibly even just say "remuneration", depending in what the article says.

  -> If you were a native English speaker, you would know that remuneration doesn't just refer to the employment of individuals. Why don't you stick to your own language instead of lecturing us about ours?
