Estimate your next patent renewal costs in a few simple steps.
Choose whether the family follows an EP validation route or a global WIPO/PCT route. The calculator loads the relevant jurisdictions automatically.
Provide the filing date and grant date of the patent that defines the timing of the patent family.
Add or remove countries to match the actual jurisdictions where your patent family is maintained.
The tool estimates the annuity year and the official patent renewal fees for each jurisdiction in local currency for the upcoming renewal cycle, together with a summary of the fees for the entire patent family. The total cost can be viewed in USD or EUR.
These are the patent annuity fees set by national or regional patent offices. They are required to maintain the legal validity of a patent and typically increase over time as the patent progresses through its lifecycle.

To calculate upcoming official renewal fees, you only need a few key inputs:
• The filing date of the patent
• The grant date
• The patent family route (EP validation or WIPO / PCT route)
• The jurisdictions where the patent family is maintained
Based on these inputs, the calculator determines the upcoming annuity year and estimates the official renewal fees.
The calculator uses publicly available official patent office fee schedules and applies the relevant annuity rules to estimate the upcoming renewal cycle.
The results provide a reliable cost estimate for planning purposes. The exact renewal cost may vary depending on factors such as:
• the exact payment date
• currency conversion rates, recipient bank fees, postal fees,
• grace periods or late payment surcharges
• service fees charged by other renewal providers or local agents
Yes. The calculator allows you to add or remove jurisdictions so the calculation reflects the actual countries where your patent family is maintained. This provides an overview of the total upcoming patent renewal cost across multiple jurisdictions in a single calculation.
No. The calculator focuses on standard renewal deadlines and official annuity fees. Late payment surcharges and grace period fees are not included because they depend on the exact payment timing and the rules applied by each patent office. These additional costs may apply if a renewal is paid after the standard deadline.
No. The patent family renewal fee calculator can be used independently as a planning tool. Entering your patent data does not create an account and does not make you a customer of PatentRenewal.com. The calculator simply estimates upcoming renewal fees and provides a cost overview for the next annuity cycle.
The calculator only uses the information you provide to estimate upcoming patent renewal fees.
