Set contract dates, cost, and budget Last updated: Aug 16, 2026

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

1. Open the contract and select the Custom tab.
2. Under Current Contract, set the Start Date and End Date, enter the Contract Cost and its period (per Year, per Month, and so on), and record the Seller.
3. Under Cost & Budget, enter the Contract Cost, Monthly Cost, and Actual Spend to Date, then click Save Budget.

Vertask calculates annual projected spend, budget remaining, cost per day, and variance from these figures. The dates also drive the expiration countdown and the renewal filters.
