slutdatum

Slutdatum is a term used in Swedish to denote the end date or due date of an obligation, contract, project, or period. It marks when a contractual term expires, a project must be completed, or an agreement ends. The term derives from slut (end) and datum (date). In practice, slutdatum is used across many domains—employment, rental agreements, loans, procurement, and administrative processes—where knowing the final date is essential for planning and compliance.

In employment, the slutdatum of an employment contract indicates when the employee is scheduled to leave, unless renewed or terminated earlier by mutual agreement. For projects, the slutdatum sets the deadline by which work should be delivered; for leases, it is the date the tenancy ends. In administrative settings, a document may have a slutdatum indicating when it expires or when a review is due. It is important to distinguish slutdatum from förfallodatum (due date for payment); slutdatum emphasizes completion or termination rather than payment obligations.

Extensions or amendments can modify a slutdatum, typically via addendum, renewal, or renegotiated terms. When communicating slutdatum, precise dates are preferred, and any conditions for extension should be specified.
