Domain & IP Renewal Cost Calculator
Legal & ComplianceCalculate your total annual cost for domain names and trademark renewals.
Total Estimated Annual IP Cost
Your combined estimated annual cost across domains and amortized trademark renewals.
Annual Domain Renewal Cost
$15
Your domain renewal costs, fully in your control based on registrar and TLD choice.
Annualized Trademark Renewal Cost

Legal & Compliance calculators
Renewing a trademark or a fleet of domain names rarely feels like a single bill. It is a scattering of small, recurring charges that are easy to underbudget until a renewal notice arrives for more than expected. This calculator brings both costs into one place, the domains you renew every year and the trademarks you renew roughly once a decade, so you get a single realistic annual number instead of a guess.
For domains, you enter how many you hold and your actual average renewal price, since that price varies enormously by registrar and top level domain. The calculator does not try to guess a market average for you. The accurate number is the one on your own renewal invoice, not a nationwide estimate that may not reflect your actual registrar's pricing for your specific extension.
For trademarks, the calculator applies the real government renewal fee structure for five major offices: the USPTO, which charges a flat fee per class, the EUIPO, which uses a tiered base plus per class structure, the UKIPO and CIPO, which each charge a base fee for the first class plus a smaller fee for each additional class, and IP Australia, which charges a flat fee per class. Because trademark renewals happen once every ten years in every one of these jurisdictions, not annually, the calculator divides that real renewal fee by ten so it fits into a genuine yearly budget instead of showing a one time spike that could look alarming, or misleadingly cheap if you forgot the renewal was coming at all.
What this tool does not do matters just as much. It does not include attorney or filing agent fees, which many businesses pay on top of the government fee itself. It does not cover patent maintenance fees, which follow a completely different schedule. And it cannot predict future fee increases, since every trademark office periodically revises its rates. Treat the output as a solid planning baseline for your own budget, not a final invoice from any registrar or trademark office.
How much does a domain name renewal cost?
A standard .com domain typically renews for $10 to $20 a year at most major registrars, but that range shifts quickly once you move to newer or specialty top level domains such as .io, .ai, or .co, some of which renew for $40 to $90 a year or more. Country code domains and short or premium names can cost even more. Because pricing differs so much by registrar and extension, comparing the actual renewal price, not just the registration price, across a few of the best domain registrars before you commit is one of the simplest ways to control your real domain cost per year.
What do USPTO, EUIPO, UKIPO, CIPO, and IP Australia charge to renew a trademark?
Trademark renewal fees are set independently by each national or regional office, and they are not small. This calculator applies the current published renewal fee structure for five major offices, based on how many classes of goods or services your trademark covers.
| Trademark Office | Renewal Fee Structure (per 10-Year Renewal) |
|---|---|
| USPTO (United States) | $650 per class, flat, with no discount for additional classes |
| EUIPO (European Union) | EUR 850 for the first class, plus EUR 50 for a second class, plus EUR 150 for each class beyond two |
| UKIPO (United Kingdom) | GBP 245 for the first class, plus GBP 60 for each additional class |
| CIPO (Canada) | CAD 595.06 for the first class, plus CAD 185.49 for each additional class |
| IP Australia | AUD 400 per class, flat, with no discount for additional classes |
Four of these five fee schedules are set in a currency other than US dollars. This calculator applies the numeric fee amount for your selected office without converting it to your local currency, so if you are budgeting in US dollars for a European Union, United Kingdom, Canadian, or Australian trademark, add your own currency conversion on top of the figure shown.
Planning to file a new trademark rather than renew an existing one? Initial registration fees follow a different structure than renewal fees.
Why is trademark renewal shown as an annual cost instead of a lump sum?
Every one of these five offices renews trademarks on a ten year cycle, not annually. A renewal bill that can run from a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand, arriving only once a decade, is easy to forget and easy to budget for badly when it does show up. This calculator divides the real total renewal fee for your selected office and class count by ten, producing a genuine annual line item you can fold into a normal yearly budget instead of an unpredictable spike. This is a budgeting convenience, not a literal annual invoice. Nobody actually pays a trademark office every year. Set aside the amortized amount and it accumulates toward the real lump sum due once every ten years.
What this estimate does not include
- Attorney or trademark filing agent fees, which many businesses pay in addition to the government renewal fee itself, and which some jurisdictions effectively require through local representation rules
- Patent maintenance fees, which follow an entirely different fee schedule and legal process than trademark renewals
- Domain dispute costs and per-domain privacy protection add-ons that some registrars bill separately from the base renewal price
- Currency conversion for EUIPO, UKIPO, CIPO, and IP Australia fees, as noted above
- Future fee increases, since every office listed here periodically revises its published rates
Domains and trademarks are only part of a business's ongoing compliance spending. See how state filing and permit renewals add up separately.
How can you reduce ongoing domain and trademark renewal costs?
- Drop domains that were registered defensively but are no longer needed to protect the brand from confusion
- Lock in multi-year renewal pricing when a registrar offers it, since standard renewal prices tend to rise over time
- Consolidate domains at a single registrar to simplify renewal tracking and sometimes qualify for portfolio-level pricing
- File a straightforward trademark renewal directly with the relevant office when the paperwork does not require legal judgment, avoiding a filing agent fee
- Set a calendar reminder well before the ten year renewal deadline, since a missed deadline can mean restarting the registration process rather than simply paying a late fee
Frequently Asked Questions
Why might a business own multiple domain names?
Businesses commonly register variations of their primary domain, including common misspellings, alternate extensions, and country-specific versions, to protect their brand and prevent competitors or bad actors from acquiring similar domains.
What happens if a domain or trademark renewal deadline is missed?
A missed domain renewal can result in losing the domain entirely, sometimes to another registrant who acquires it during or after a grace period. A missed trademark renewal deadline can result in the registration expiring, which generally means restarting the registration process rather than simply paying a late fee, though most offices offer a short grace period with an added surcharge before that happens.
Do I need an attorney to renew a trademark?
Not necessarily for a straightforward renewal with no changes to the registration, since the paperwork mainly confirms continued use and pays the fee. An attorney or licensed trademark agent becomes more valuable for anything more complex, such as a jurisdiction that requires local representation, a registration with disputed or lapsed use, or renewing across multiple classes and countries at once.
What is the difference between a trademark renewal and a trademark maintenance filing?
A trademark renewal formally extends the registration for another term, typically ten years. A maintenance filing, such as the USPTO's Section 8 declaration of continued use, is a separate requirement to prove the trademark is still actively in use in commerce. In the US it is often filed and paid alongside the Section 9 renewal application, which is why the two get bundled together as one combined fee.
Can a trademark be renewed early, or is there a grace period after the deadline?
Yes to both. Most offices, including the USPTO, allow renewal filings within a window of several months before the deadline, and also offer a grace period of several months after the deadline for a late filing, usually with an added surcharge. Missing the grace period as well typically means the registration lapses.
Does owning a registered trademark automatically protect the matching domain name?
No. A trademark registration protects a brand name, logo, or slogan in connection with specific goods or services, while a domain name is a separate, unrelated registration held with a domain registrar. Owning one does not grant any automatic right to the other, so many businesses register both independently.
How many classes should I choose when renewing a trademark?
Renew the number of classes that actually cover the goods or services your business currently offers under that trademark, not the maximum available. Renewing unused classes adds real, ongoing cost under every office's per-class fee structure, so it is worth periodically reviewing whether every class you originally registered is still relevant to your business.
Does WHOIS privacy protection add to my domain renewal cost?
It can. WHOIS privacy protection, which hides your personal contact details from the public domain registration record, is bundled free by some registrars and sold as a separate annual add-on by others. Check whether your registrar includes it in the renewal price you are budgeting for or bills it separately.
