When will subsequent subscriptions be assessed?

Because I'm developing an annual payment system, it would be useful for members to know when a fee will be assessed if they do not cancel.

All subscriptions are yearly, so something as simple as 364 days + last payment date would work, but I've no idea how to find last payment date (as opposed to number of days since first payment recieved).

Thanks!

You're making it too complicated. I wouldn't make it that specific.

You can simply tell them they will be billed a year from the date they paid. They can look on the calendar and figure out when that will be.

I'm not saying your point is invalid, but from a UX point of view I don't expect users to remember when they paid 8 months ago.

When the membership is several hundred dollars its seems a reasonable expectation to let them know when the fee will be assessed.
