Auto-renewal deadline calculator
The deadline that matters isn't the expiry date — it's the expiry date minus the notice window. Enter both and get the exact last day you can act.
Tracking more than one contract? StartedUp finds this deadline in every contract automatically and alerts you at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days.
Track them automaticallyWhy the deadline isn't the expiry date
An auto-renewal clause renews your contract by default unless you give notice within a set window before it expires. Teams calendar the expiry date and assume they have until then — but the real deadline is earlier, by exactly the length of the notice window. Miss it and you're committed to another term. This tool makes that hidden date visible.
FAQ
About auto-renewal deadlines
How do I calculate an auto-renewal deadline?
Take the contract's expiry date and subtract the notice window (the number of days' notice the contract requires). The result is the last day you can serve non-renewal notice. This calculator does it for you.
What is a typical notice window in the UAE?
It varies by contract, but 30, 60 and 90 days are common. Always use the exact figure stated in your contract's renewal or termination clause.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
If the contract auto-renews and you miss the notice window, the contract generally renews for another term automatically — often at revised pricing. That's why the deadline, not the expiry date, is what matters.
