What is the last day you can cancel?

Gyms, phone contracts and many memberships require notice. Enter the renewal date, the notice period and whether the contract can end on any day or only at the end of a month.

Two kinds of notice rule

“Before renewal” means the notice runs backwards from the renewal date: fourteen days’ notice before a renewal on the 15th means cancelling by the 1st.

“End of month” means the contract can only end on the last day of a month. The calculator finds the last month-end before the renewal and subtracts the notice from it, which can move the deadline weeks earlier.

Arrival counts, not sending

For most contracts the notice must be received by the deadline, not posted on it. Allow time for mail, keep proof of delivery, and cancel online where the provider allows it.

Read your own contract

Notice periods and rules vary by provider and country, and the contract is what applies. Use the calculator to turn the contract’s wording into a date, then check it against the terms.

Common questions

How do I calculate a notice period?

Start from the date the contract would renew or end and count back the notice period. If the contract can only end at the end of a month, start from the last month-end before the renewal.

Does the notice have to arrive by the deadline?

For most contracts, yes — receipt counts, not the posting date. Send it early and keep proof.

What if I miss the deadline?

The contract usually renews for another term or runs another notice period. Cancel immediately anyway, so the next deadline is not missed too.

Is this legal advice?

No. It converts a notice rule into a date. Your contract and local law decide what applies.
