You are correct. Your Ts had a monthly rent of xxxx. It was for the WHOLE month, whether that was for 28, 29, 30 or 31 days. It was THEIR choice to move out early, not yours. If they thought they might move out early, they should have negotiated that with you BEFORE the last time they paid rent. And you STILL could have said no. Besides, you didn't say, but was there any damages or cleaning they left for you, that will be coming out of their deposit? You should probably try to get that sec.dep. statement out to them, by certified mail, by the 20th of July if possible.

In SOME states, if they gave a 30 day notice on the 22nd of the previous month, then they would be entitled to the 8 day proration. I know that Oregon is tenant friendly in that regard. So in short, it depends on (a) your state's laws and (b) when the notice was given. Or (c) you can just refuse to refund it because they most likely won't sue you for 8 days of rent.
