# Custom Schedules

Custom pricing schedules in Measure provide the flexibility to structure contracts with non-regular billing intervals. This is particularly useful for complex, multi-year agreements where payment amounts and timelines vary, moving beyond the constraints of standard recurring billing.

With custom schedules, you can define a series of billing periods and specify a unique amount for each one. This allows you to model sophisticated payment plans, such as upfront fees, milestone-based payments, or ramp-up pricing over the life of a contract.

For example, you can configure a 24-month contract where a customer:

* Pays \$1,000 upfront.
* Pays \$500 at month six.
* Pays \$800 at months nine, twelve, and fifteen.
* Pays \$1,000 at months eighteen and twenty-four.

This capability ensures that all billing is automated according to the specific terms of your customer agreements, reducing manual work and improving accuracy. Once a custom schedule is created as a pricing plan, it can be easily attached to any new contract or subscription.
