# How do I switch between monthly and yearly billing?

> Change your Billing Cycle in the Change Plan dialog; the switch takes effect at your renewal date.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Switching your billing cycle on the **same plan** takes effect at your renewal date — either direction — and you keep your current plan and cycle until then.
  * There's **no immediate charge** for a cycle switch; you're billed on the new cycle at your normal renewal.
  * The switch shows as a scheduled-change banner you can undo any time before the date.
</Note>

Your billing cycle is separate from your plan tier, and you change it in the same place.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Change Plan">
    Go to **Settings → Billing & Usage → Subscription Billing** and click **Change Plan**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the Billing Cycle">
    In the **Change Subscription Plan** dialog, keep your plan selected and change **Billing Cycle** to **Monthly** or **Yearly**. Each option shows its price.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the switch">
    There's no charge for a cycle switch, so just click **Confirm Change**. You'll get a confirmation that the change is scheduled for your renewal date and that you keep your current plan until then.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Why does it wait? You keep the plan and cycle you've already paid for until the current period ends, so switching the cycle on the same plan — to yearly or back to monthly — is scheduled for your renewal date rather than charged now. Your new cycle's price applies at that renewal. A pending switch shows as a banner on your Current Plan card, and you can undo it before the date.
