Subscription Cancellation Planner
Cancelling on time is harder than it sounds — many services need notice days or weeks before renewal. Enter the renewal date and notice period, and this planner works out the real cancel-by date, tracks any refund window, and tells you when to set a reminder.

About the Subscription Cancellation Planner
Cancelling a subscription is rarely as simple as clicking "cancel" on renewal day. Gym memberships, broadband and mobile contracts, insurance, software and many annual plans require notice — often 30, 60 or even 90 days before the renewal or contract end date. Miss that window and you're locked in (and charged) for another full term, even though you cancelled "in time".
The Subscription Cancellation Planner does the date maths for you. Enter the renewal or contract end date and the provider's notice period, and it calculates your real cancel-by date — the last day you can give notice and still avoid the next charge. It also tracks refund windows (the cooling-off period after signing up when you can still get your money back) and works out when to set a reminder so the deadline never sneaks up on you.
It pairs with the Subscription Renewal Tracker: that tool keeps an eye on what's renewing and what it all costs, while this one handles the trickier job of cancelling cleanly and on time. Everything is stored locally in your browser — no account, no cloud sync, and nothing sent to a server. Export a JSON backup any time.
How to Use the Subscription Cancellation Planner
Add a Plan
Click Add Plan and enter the service name, its cost, and the renewal or contract end date — the date the next charge or new term begins.
Set the Notice Period
Enter how many days' notice the provider requires (check your contract — 30, 60 and 90 days are common). The planner subtracts it to find your real cancel-by date.
Pick a Reminder Lead
Choose how many days before the deadline you want a heads-up. The planner shows a reminder date so you can put it in your calendar with breathing room.
Add a Refund Window
If you just signed up, add the start date and the cooling-off window (often 14 days). The planner flags the refund deadline so you can still get a full refund if you change your mind.
Watch the Alerts
The dashboard counts what needs action. A red banner lists anything at or past its deadline; an amber banner warns when a refund window is about to close.
Mark the Outcome
Once you've cancelled, click the tick to mark it done. Decided to keep it after all? Mark it "Keeping" so it drops off your action list but stays on record.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Subscription Renewal Tracker?
The Renewal Tracker answers "what am I paying for and when does it renew?". This planner answers the harder question: "given the notice period, what's the last day I can actually cancel — and when should I be reminded?" It calculates the cancel-by date for you instead of asking you to guess it, and it adds refund-window tracking.
What is a notice period and why does it matter?
Many contracts require you to tell the provider you're leaving a set number of days before the renewal or end date — commonly 30, 60 or 90 days. If you cancel later than that, you're typically held to (and billed for) another full term. The planner subtracts the notice period from the renewal date so you give notice in time.
How is the cancel-by date calculated?
It's simply the renewal or contract end date minus the notice period. So a plan that renews on 30 June with 30 days' notice has a cancel-by date of 31 May. The reminder date is then the cancel-by date minus your chosen reminder lead.
What is a refund window?
Many subscriptions have a cooling-off or money-back period after sign-up — often 14 days — during which you can cancel for a full refund. Enter your start date and that window, and the planner shows the refund deadline and warns you before it closes, so you don't lose the chance to get your money back.
Does it send reminders or emails?
No — it doesn't collect your email or send notifications. It shows the reminder date so you can add it to your own calendar or phone reminders, and it surfaces a banner whenever something needs action when you open the page. Bookmark it and check in periodically.
Where should I find my notice period?
Check the contract or terms you agreed to, the account or billing page of the service, or a renewal/confirmation email. Words to look for include "notice", "cancellation period", "minimum term", and "auto-renewal". If you can't find it, a safe default is to give notice as early as you're allowed.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your plans, dates and notes are stored only in your browser's localStorage on this device. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no account. Clearing your browser data removes the list, so use Export to keep a JSON backup.
What does "At Stake" mean?
It adds up the per-charge cost of everything still on your to-cancel list — a quick sense of how much you'll be billed if you let those renewals go through. Cancel on time and that's what you keep.
Is this legal advice about my cancellation rights?
No. It's a planning tool to help you act on time. Notice periods, cooling-off rights and refund rules vary by provider, product and country, and your statutory rights may differ from a contract's stated terms. Always confirm the details with the provider and your local consumer-rights guidance.
