Hello,
Create formula field with eturn type date and use following code 
  
DATE
(
	YEAR( Start_Date__c ),
	Month( Start_Date__c ),
	CASE( MONTH(Start_Date__c), 
		1, 31, 
		2, IF( MOD( YEAR(Start_Date__c) + 1, 4) = 0, 29, 28), 
		3, 31, 
		4, 30, 
		5, 31, 
		6, 30, 
		7, 31, 
		8, 31, 
		9, 30, 
		10, 31, 
		11, 30,

		0

Hi Mw6,
You mean ,you want to set the last day of the years as in the start date? or you want to add 1 year to the start date as expiry date?

To just set the last day of the same year, 
DATE
(
	YEAR( Start_Date__c ),
	Month( 12),Day(31)
	
	
)

To add one year to the start date
  
​DATE ( YEAR( Start_Date__c )+1, Month( Start_Date__c ),Day(Start_Date__c ) )


Thanks and Regards,
