Set contract dates, cost, and budget Last updated: Sep 26, 2026

Record a contract's term, cost, and budget so Vertask can track spend and renewals.

1. Open the contract and click the edit (pencil) icon at the top right.
2. Under Current Contract, set the Start Date, End Date, and Initial Signed On date.
3. Under Commercials, enter the Contract Cost, choose the period (per year, per month, per quarter, or one-time), and the Seller.
4. Under Cost & Budget, enter the Contract Cost, Monthly Cost, and Actual Spend to Date.
5. Save your changes.

Vertask calculates annual projected spend, budget remaining, cost per day, days and months elapsed, and variance. The dates also drive the expiration countdown and the renewal filters.
