What renewing early costs

You don't have to wait for your expiry month to renew. You can renew early and pay the current month's PQP, but the new COE then starts on the 1st of the following month, and whatever is left of your current COE is forfeited. Those days are already paid for, so giving them up is the cost of renewing early.

The calculator values each forfeited day at the PQP for your renewal term divided by the number of days in that term. On the October 2026 Cat A PQP of $128,715, a day of a 10-year COE is worth about $35, so two weeks forfeited cost roughly $493.

What renewing early can save

The PQP is the average of all COE premiums in the previous three calendar months, so it moves a little each month. If next month's PQP is higher, renewing this month locks in the lower figure. The saving is the difference between the two, halved for a 5-year renewal. Renewing early pays off only when that saving is bigger than the value of the days you give up.

Renewing early locks in this month's PQP but gives up the unused days on your current COE.

Next month's PQP is only fixed once this month's second bidding exercise closes, so before then it is an estimate. Check this month's PQP for every category, and see how to check your COE expiry date.

Good to know

If you miss the expiry date, LTA allows renewal up to one month after expiry with a late fee of $50 to $250, but the car can't be driven in that month. The 5-year option can be taken only once for Cat A, B and D vehicles; Cat C vehicles can take it again.

Questions

Yes. You can renew ahead of the expiry date and pay that month's PQP, but the unused part of your current COE is forfeited, because the new COE starts on the 1st of the following month.
Only when the PQP is set to rise by more than the value of the days you give up. With a 10-year renewal, each forfeited day costs roughly the PQP divided by 3,650, so a rise of a few hundred dollars covers only a couple of weeks.
The PQP is the average of all COE premiums in the previous three calendar months, so next month's PQP is fixed once this month's second bidding exercise closes. Until then it is an estimate.
You can still renew up to one month after expiry, with a late fee of $50 to $250. You can't drive the car in that month, and after it the car has to be deregistered.
