Cancel-by date calculator

Enter the renewal date and the notice period from your contract. You get the last day you can cancel, how many days are left, and the next few cycles, so a notice window does not close before you notice it.

Nothing you type here leaves your browser. For a whole list of renewals with a calendar feed, open Renewal Radar.

Why the cancel-by date matters more than the renewal date

Many business contracts, software plans and insurance policies renew automatically unless you give notice some days before the end of the term. Typical notice periods are 30, 60 or 90 days, and the clock counts back from the renewal date. A yearly plan with a 60 day notice period has to be cancelled around ten months after it started, which is long before anything reminds you. Miss it and you are usually committed for another full term.

How the dates are worked out

• Cancel-by date is the renewal date minus the notice period, counted in calendar days.
• Later cycles are counted from the first renewal date, one term at a time, so a renewal on the 31st becomes the last day of shorter months and then goes back to the 31st. Dates never drift.
• If the window has already closed, the calculator says so and shows the next cancel-by date instead.

Check your contract

This is a reminder tool, not legal advice. Notice may have to be in writing, sent to a named address, or received (not just sent) by the deadline, and some contracts count business days or start from a different date. Your contract wording always wins.
