How to Cancel BambooHR Subscription
Quick answer
Month-to-month plans can be cancelled any time and end on the last day of that month. Extended-term plans auto-renew for 12 months unless you give at least 60 days' notice before the term ends.
Most likely fix: Find out your term type
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Find out your term type
- Open your Order Form or ask your account owner whether the subscription is Month-to-Month or Extended Term.
- The Terms of Service say the Subscription Term is set in the Order Form.

- Contact BambooHR (account team or support) and request cancellation in writing.
- Cancellation takes effect on the last day of the subscription month in which you cancel.
- Prepaid unearned fees are refunded, but you lose the prepayment discount for the months used and are charged the difference.

- Give notice of non-renewal at least 60 days before the current term expires, in writing, and keep a copy.
- Check your Order Form: minimum fees based on employee and product minimums apply for the whole term.
- Early exit is generally not refundable, except if BambooHR fails to provide the service and does not cure within 30 days of your written notice.

- Download your Customer Data within 30 days after expiration or termination, after which it is deleted.
- If you used BambooHR Payroll, BambooHR may keep payroll data for 7 years for legal and tax reasons.
- Export reports, employee files and time off history before the end date.

- Month-to-month customers get at least 60 days' notice of price changes and can cancel before the new price starts.
- Extended-term prices are fixed during the term; changes apply to the next renewal with 60 days' notice.
