Policy Review Schedule Calculator

Policy Review Schedule Calculator

Company policies go stale quietly. Information security, expenses, data protection, and conduct policies each need a review on a set cycle, and it is easy to lose track of when each was last looked at. This calculator lists every policy with its last review and interval and works out the next date. It is for compliance, HR, and governance teams.

What this corporate governance tool gives you

The output is a policy review calendar: a table of Policy, Last review, Interval, and Next review, with dates written out in full. Anything missing is marked "Still blank". Bring it to the board or audit committee as the annual review schedule.

What you enter

  • Policy rows, each with the policy name (required), the last review date (calendar date), and the review interval in whole months, at least 1; add as many rows as needed

Worked example

The example lists one policy: Information security, last reviewed on January 15, 2026, with a 12-month interval. The next review is January 15, 2026 plus 12 months, which is January 15, 2027. The output table shows all four columns filled and a note explaining that the day is kept unless it does not exist in the target month.

How is the next policy review date calculated?

Next review = last review date + the interval in months. The day of the month is kept, unless that day does not exist in the target month, in which case the last day of that month is used; for example, January 31 plus one month gives the last day of February.

The interval must be a whole number of months, 1 or more. A row with a policy name but no last review date or no interval is kept, with the missing cells marked "Still blank" and the policy listed in the closing note. This is a scheduling aid and does not say how often any policy must legally be reviewed.

Tips before you use the result

  1. Use the date the policy was approved after review, not the date someone started reviewing it.
  2. Set shorter intervals for policies tied to fast-changing areas, such as information security, if your auditors or regulator expect it.
  3. Add every policy, even those without a known last review date; the "Still blank" note turns them into a to-do list.
  4. After each review, update the last review date so the next one moves forward.

Frequently asked questions

How often should company policies be reviewed?

It depends on the policy, your industry, and any regulatory or certification requirements, so check with your compliance adviser; this tool is a scheduling aid, not legal advice. Annual review is a common default, and you can enter any whole number of months per policy.

What happens if the last review was on the 31st?

The calculator keeps the same day of the month when it exists. If the target month is shorter, it uses that month's last day. So a policy reviewed on August 31 with a 6-month interval falls due on the last day of February.

Can I track policies with different review cycles?

Yes. Each row has its own interval in months, so an information security policy can be on 12 months and an expenses policy on 24. The table shows the interval next to each next review date, which makes it easy to spot a policy whose cycle looks too long or too short.

Is the policy review calendar saved?

The calendar lives in your browser storage on this device and needs no sign-up. It will not follow you to another computer or to a colleague, so copy or print it after each update and file it with your governance records. That dated copy is also useful evidence for an auditor.
