About Vorlagenrechner

Radif Partners

Independent publisher of free German contract and termination templates you fill in in your browser, with a notice-period calculator based on the German Civil Code

Vorlagenrechner is published by Radif Partners, an independent publisher with no link to any authority, law firm or provider. The site offers 16 German templates for cancellations, leases, work and daily life, each with a calculator.

Why this site exists

Search for a German cancellation template and you usually get a form with a gap saying “effective ___”. You have to work out the date that matters yourself, and that is where mistakes happen: a missed third working day, a period under old rules, a one-year renewal that no longer exists since 2022.

Vorlagenrechner first calculates the date or amount under the relevant provision, then inserts the result into the text. Every rule names its section.

Where the information comes from

Periods and forms from the statute texts on gesetze-im-internet.de, the base rate from the Deutsche Bundesbank, holidays from the states’ holiday acts. Details are on the method page.

What we are not

Radif Partners is not a law firm and gives no legal advice. The templates cover the usual case; for disputes, special agreements or collective agreements, consumer advice centres, tenants’ associations, trade unions or lawyers can help.

Funding and data

The site is free and needs no sign-up. Calculations and letters are produced in your browser; names, addresses and numbers are not sent anywhere. If advertising ever appears here, it will never sit above a template or be presented as a recommendation.

Two languages

The site is in German and English. The documents themselves are always in German, because landlords, employers and providers in Germany expect them that way.
