About this notice period calculator
Your last working day is not simply the resignation date plus 30 days. Notice periods run in calendar days in most Indian offer letters, weekends and public holidays included, and some employers count differently — which is how people end up serving three extra days they did not expect.
Enter your resignation date and notice period, and this calculator gives you the exact last working day. If you need to leave earlier, it also works out the shortfall and the buyout amount based on your gross monthly salary.
How to use it
- 1
Enter your resignation date
Use the date you actually submit the letter. Most notice periods start the day after it is accepted, not the day you wrote it.
- 2
Set your notice period
Check your appointment letter for the exact wording — 30 days, 60 days, or 2 months. The two are not always the same number.
- 3
Check the buyout if you need to leave early
Enter your target last working day and the calculator shows the shortfall and the amount your employer can recover.
Frequently asked questions
How is the last working day calculated?
Most Indian employers count notice in calendar days, so the last working day is the resignation date plus the notice period, counting weekends and holidays. Some count working days only — this calculator supports both.
How is notice period buyout calculated?
Usually the shortfall in days, multiplied by your gross monthly salary divided by 30. Check your appointment letter — some employers use a fixed number of months' salary instead.
Can my employer refuse my resignation?
No. Resignation is a right, not a request. What your employer can enforce is the notice period, or the buyout amount if you leave before serving it.
Does the notice period include weekends?
In most Indian offer letters, yes — notice runs in calendar days. It is worth confirming in writing with HR, because the difference between 30 calendar days and 30 working days is more than a week.
