Free Trial End Date Calculator
Work backward from the exact first-charge date with a personal buffer, billing timezone and saved-cancellation status. Inputs stay in your browser.
The first-charge date is the controlling boundary. The optional lead time is your own buffer, not a statutory grace period.
Context matters.
- FTC guidance recommends checking exactly how and when to cancel, keeping cancellation evidence and monitoring statements.
- A service may use a time-of-day and timezone cutoff. A date-only reminder should be set early enough to avoid that ambiguity.
- If cancellation is obstructed or an unexpected charge appears, preserve screenshots and contact the provider, payment issuer or consumer-protection authority as appropriate.
Sources & scope
The calculation guide and this source trail show what the result means, where the rule came from and when it was last reviewed. This is source-and-calculation QA, not a claim of medical, legal, tax or other professional review; time-sensitive decisions still belong with the linked authority.
A visible path from input to answer.
Work backward from the exact first-charge date with a personal buffer, billing timezone and saved-cancellation status. The page keeps the calculation scope and its limits beside the result so the output can be checked, copied or revisited.
- Read the record. The calculator uses Service / subscription, Billing source, Exact first-charge date, Trial start date and Exact trial length (days) and 5 additional fields supplied in the form.
- Apply the scope. It applies the United States subscription planning — exact offer terms, first-charge cutoff, cancellation method and confirmation control reference and the explicit date, unit and counting conventions shown in the result.
- Expose the checkpoints. Intermediate rows, warnings and timeline events stay visible; the emphasized row identifies the primary checkpoint when one exists.

Calculation purpose: Work backward from the exact first-charge date with a personal buffer, billing timezone and saved-cancellation status. This is a high-sensitivity reference output; the linked authority or qualified professional controls the final decision.
Calendar inputs use plain year-month-day semantics. Leap days, month ends, date-pair order and unsupported dates are checked before the result is shown.

What to know before using the result.
What date should control a free-trial reminder?
The exact first-charge date and cutoff in the offer terms. A trial length alone can be ambiguous about counting and timezone.
Is the cancellation buffer a legal grace period?
No. It is a personal planning margin. The service's current terms and cancellation process control.
What proof should I keep after cancelling?
Save the confirmation page or email, the terms you accepted and relevant statements. FTC guidance also recommends monitoring for unexpected charges.
