Notice Period Calculator: Find Last Working Day and Buyout Cost

How it's calculated

1. Notice in days: last working day = resignation date + number of days − 1, counting resignation day as day 1. Otherwise, it is resignation date + number of days. A week equals 7 days.
2. Notice in months: add months to resignation date (1 October + 1 month = 1 November), then subtract one day if counting resignation day as day 1 (31 October). If that date isn't in the next month, use the month's last day: 31 January + 1 month = 28 February (29 in a leap year), setting last day as 27 February.
3. Calendar days include every day, counting weekends and holidays.
4. Buyout ≈ monthly pay ÷ 30 × days you leave early, minus any leave days the employer agrees to offset.

In India, the notice period is outlined in your offer or appointment letter and the employer's HR policy. Offer letters often specify 30 to 90 days. An employer might accept a buyout or early departure, but is not obligated to; ensure any agreement is documented.
