Notice Period Calculator.
Your last working day is your resignation date plus your notice period, counted in calendar days. Enter the date you resign and the notice period in days or months, and this calculator shows the last working day, the days remaining and, if you plan to leave earlier, the shortfall and the buyout amount.
Notice is counted in calendar days, weekends and holidays included, unless your contract says otherwise. Whether buyout uses basic or gross salary, and 30 or 26 days, is set by your contract. Nothing is sent to a server.

What you'll get.
A real example of what this tool produces. Run it above with your own inputs.
The notice period is the time between telling your employer you are leaving and actually leaving. It is written into your appointment letter or contract, typically as 30, 60 or 90 days or as one to three months, and it applies in both directions: the employer has to give the same notice, or pay in place of it, to end your employment. The two questions everyone asks on resigning are "what is my last day?" and "what does it cost to leave sooner?".
This calculator answers both. It counts the notice in calendar days from your resignation date, in days or in calendar months, and shows the last working day with its weekday. If you enter the date you would like to leave, it works out the shortfall, subtracts any leave your employer agrees to adjust, and multiplies the remaining days by one day of pay to estimate the buyout, using a divisor of 30 or 26 as your contract specifies.
The tool is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser. It comes from Neweb, the AI website builder for small businesses, which has a free plan and paid plans from $9/month billed yearly ($19 month-to-month). If the notice period is the runway to starting your own business, you can have a Neweb site live before your last day.
How to use the notice period calculator
Enter your resignation date: the day you submit the resignation in writing.
Enter the notice period from your contract, in days or months, and choose whether counting starts on the day you resign or the day after.
Click Calculate to see your last working day and how many days are left.
To check an early exit, enter the date you want to leave, your monthly salary and the divisor your employer uses.
Enter any leave days the employer has agreed to set off against notice, and recalculate to see the buyout amount.
Why this matters for your business
The date drives everything else. Your joining date at the next employer, your final salary, leave encashment and the relieving letter all hang on the last working day. Getting it wrong by a few days can mean an awkward gap or an overlap.
Buyout is often negotiable, and it helps to know the number. A new employer may reimburse it, or your current one may waive it. Either way you need the figure before you ask.
When to use a notice period calculator
Use it before you resign, to plan the date and agree a joining date; when you write the letter, so the last working day in it is right (the resignation letter generator uses the same arithmetic); and when you receive your final settlement, to check the notice recovery. Employers can use it the same way when an employee asks for early release.
Tips for better results
- Read the notice clause itself. It tells you the length, whether it is days or months, and whether buyout is on basic or gross pay.
- Count from the date of the written resignation, not the date of the conversation.
- Ask HR in writing which day they treat as your last working day; their system date is the one that counts.
- Leave can be adjusted against notice only if the employer agrees or the policy allows it.
- Notice pay recovered from you reduces your final settlement, so check it together with leave encashment and gratuity.
Example
A real-world walkthrough
Karthik resigns on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. His contract has a 60-day notice period, and his company counts from the day after the resignation. The calculator gives a last working day of Saturday, 2 January 2027, and flags that it falls on a weekend.
His new employer wants him by mid-December, so he enters 15 December 2026 as the date he wants to leave. The shortfall is 18 days. His contract says buyout is on basic pay of ₹40,000 a month divided by 30, so one day of pay is ₹1,333.33 and the buyout is ₹24,000.00. If the company agrees to adjust 6 days of leave, the days to buy out fall to 12 and the amount to ₹16,000.00.
Frequently asked questions
How is the notice period calculated?
In calendar days from the date of resignation. Weekends and public holidays count, unless your contract says the notice is in working days. A 60-day notice from 3 November ends on 2 January if counting starts the next day, or 1 January if the resignation day itself counts as day one. For a notice period stated in months, the last day is the same date that many months later.
Does the notice period include weekends and holidays?
Normally yes. Notice periods are almost always calendar periods, so Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are included. If the last day falls on a weekend, many employers treat the preceding working day as the last day in the office while the notice still ends on the calculated date. The calculator flags weekend dates.
How is the notice period buyout amount calculated?
Buyout is one day of pay multiplied by the number of notice days you do not serve. One day of pay is usually the monthly basic or gross salary, whichever your contract names, divided by 30 or by 26. On ₹40,000 a month with an 18-day shortfall, that is ₹24,000 with a divisor of 30 or about ₹27,692 with 26. Your HR policy decides which applies.
Can I adjust my leave balance against the notice period?
Only if your employer allows it. Some companies let you set earned leave off against notice day for day; others insist the notice is served or paid and encash the leave separately. Ask HR, and get the answer in writing. Enter the agreed days in the leave field to reduce the buyout.
Is notice period buyout taxable?
Tax treatment depends on your country and on who pays. In India, notice pay recovered by the employer from your final settlement has generally not been treated as a deduction from your taxable salary by employers, though tribunals have ruled both ways on individual claims, and a buyout reimbursed by a new employer is usually taxed as salary. Ask a tax adviser about your own case.
Can my employer refuse to release me early?
Early release is usually at the employer’s discretion unless the contract gives you a right to buy out the notice. Most employers agree if the handover is complete. If yours does not, you are expected to serve the full notice; leaving without doing so can affect your relieving letter and final settlement.
