Contract Terms Explained

📅 Term/Duration

The length of time the contract is in effect. Can be fixed (12 months) or ongoing until terminated.

🔔 Notice Period

Time required to inform the other party before ending or not renewing. Missing it may trigger auto-renewal.

🔄 Auto-Renewal

Contract automatically extends for another term unless notice is given. Also called "evergreen" clauses.

📝 Termination

The formal ending of a contract. May be at the end of term, by notice, or for cause (breach).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a contract end date?
Enter the contract start date and the duration (in days, weeks, months, or years). The calculator will add the duration to the start date to give you the exact end date. For example, a 12-month contract starting January 15, 2025 ends on January 15, 2026.
What is a notice period?
A notice period is the amount of time you must give before terminating or not renewing a contract. For example, a 30-day notice period means you must inform the other party at least 30 days before the contract ends if you don't want to renew. Missing this deadline may result in automatic renewal.
What happens if I miss my notice deadline?
If your contract has an auto-renewal clause and you miss the notice deadline, the contract will typically renew automatically for another term (often the same length as the original). You'll be bound by the contract for another period. Always set reminders well before the notice deadline.
How do I calculate contract duration?
Use the "Duration" mode and enter both the start and end dates. The calculator will show you the exact duration in days, weeks, months, and years. This is useful when reviewing existing contracts or comparing different contract lengths.
What is a typical notice period for different contracts?
Notice periods vary by contract type: Employment contracts typically require 14-90 days, residential leases usually need 30-60 days, service agreements often require 30-90 days, and subscription services may need only 7-30 days. Always check your specific contract terms.
How do auto-renewal contracts work?
Auto-renewal (or evergreen) contracts automatically renew for another term unless one party gives notice before the deadline. For example, a 1-year contract with 60-day notice and auto-renewal will automatically extend for another year if you don't cancel at least 60 days before it ends.
