• Step 3: A drop-down menu will appear. Select the option to ‘End Contract’.

What Happens Next?

After you take these steps to end a contract on Upwork, you’ll be asked to write feedback about the client/job. You can rate your experience with the client and leave any comments, which are optional but recommended. This feedback is greatly helpful to other freelancers and the Upwork community as a whole.

Closing Points

Ending a contract should be handled professionally. Make sure open work (any assignments, revisions or drafts etc.) is submitted before terminating the contract (unless the termination is due to client issues like non-payment). Clear, polite communication with the client throughout this process is also a good practice.
