Default Calculating towards a target number

Dear Excel Expert,
I am trying to figure out a formula for a prison length. I have a set
sentence length which is a number of months (format 00.0), for example, 5
months. I want to give the prisoner a credit of 5 days a month (.1645/day).
If I multiply 5 months x 5 days, the prisoner will get 25 days credit. This
is not correct, because the prisoner is released after 5 months with no
credit. The credited time has to be calculated so that he is released before
5 months. I don't know how to get the number of months to calculate the 5 day
credit for this - DO YOU? THANK YOU!!!!!!
