# Contracts, wages and clauses > Documentation release: **FMRTE 27** (published release). > **WARNING** A contract edit does not run a negotiation, register the player, grant a work permit or exchange a transfer fee. Check those separately when needed. Use **Contract** to change an existing deal's expiry, wages, playing time, bonuses or clauses. [](https://docs.fmrte.com/img/fmrte27/players/contract.png) ## Understand the displayed units - Check **Currency** and **Wages** in **Settings → General → Appearance** before entering money. Weekly, monthly and annual amounts differ. - **Started**, **Signed**, **Joined Club** and **Expires** describe different dates. - **Agreed Playing Time**, transfer status and loan status use the choices shown in the list. ## Extend an existing contract 1. Open the player and select **Contract**. 2. Choose the current-club contract if several are listed. 3. Set **Expires** to the new date. Leave the other dates as they are unless you also intend to change them. 4. Adjust wages or clauses if wanted, then select **Save Changes**. 5. Check the contract in Football Manager. ## Release clauses for many players To set or remove a release clause for many players at once, use a [preset](https://docs.fmrte.com/tools/presets.md) with a **Release clause** action, or the **Release clause** fields on the **Contract** tab of [Mass Edit](https://docs.fmrte.com/tools/mass-edit.md). ## Loan contracts [**Move to club**](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/transfers.md#loan-a-player) sets a loan's terms when the player moves. To change them later, open **Loan Contract**, where you can edit the dates, fees, **Buy Back Fee**, **Purchase After Matches**, playing time and loan clauses.
