Notice Period Calculator
Find your last working day from your resignation date and notice period, and estimate a notice buyout.
About the Notice Period Calculator
Notice usually starts the day after you hand in your resignation, and runs for the period in your contract (or the legal minimum, if longer). In the UK, the statutory minimum an employee must give is one week after a month's service; employers must give one week per complete year of service up to 12 weeks. In India, contracts commonly specify 30–90 days, and employers may let you buy out unserved notice, often at basic or gross salary ÷ 30 per day.
The formula
Last day = notice start + notice length − 1 day
