How to move your bill's monthly due date

Are you an Xfinity Home, Xfinity Internet, Xfinity TV, and/or Xfinity Voice customer and need to change the monthly due date for your bill? You can do so online from your account. Read below to get started.

At this time, Xfinity Mobile customers are unable to change their monthly due date.

Note: To be eligible for moving your bill’s due date, you must have completed at least one billing cycle, and your bill must not be currently past due. Once you change your bill’s due date, you will need to stay in that cycle for at least six months.

Before you get started changing your due date, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • You can choose a new bill due date online on xfinity.com.
    • You may be asked to sign in using your Xfinity ID and password.
  • Your account must be up to date, with no overdue balances.
  • Changing your due date won't cause late fees.
  • After you make the request to change your due date, you can check its progress on xfinity.com.
  • Your next bill may come sooner or later than normal.
    • This is a "transition" bill and may be higher or lower than a normal bill.
  • Your new due date takes effect on the second bill after your request is completed.
  • If you have automatic payments set up, they'll automatically update to match your new due date.
  • The change needs to be made by the person in the home with the "primary" username Xfinity ID (usually who your account is under).
  • If you are an existing customer who recently moved, you will get a new account and will need to go through at least one billing cycle before changing your bill’s due date.

If you don’t need instructions, go right to choosing a new due date for your bill on xfinity.com.
