Enter the resignation date and notice period to find the last working day, counted in calendar days, months or working days as your policy specifies.
Appointment letters state notice in days or months, and teams often disagree by a day or two on when it ends. This last working day calculator applies the counting rule you choose and shows the date.
Which rule applies is set by the employment contract or policy, and for some workers by the standing orders that cover them. Check the document, then choose the matching options.
Enter your figures, then press Calculate
Your 8 inputs become a full breakdown, with every step of the working shown beneath the headline figures.
The last working day depends on two policy choices: whether notice runs in calendar days, months or working days, and whether the resignation day itself counts. The method applies both.
Calendar days: Start + (N − 1) days. Months: the day before the same date N months later. Working days: the Nth day from the start that is not a weekly off.
Some policies count the resignation day as day one; others start the next day. The contract or policy decides.
Calendar-day notice counts every day. Month notice ends the day before the same date in the later month (1 October to 31 October for one month); where that date does not exist, the month's last day is used. Working-day notice skips weekly offs.
Days the employer waives or the employee buys out shorten the period. Enter them in the same unit as the notice.
What this does not include
Asked often enough about this calculation to be worth answering beside it.
It depends on the contract or policy. Many count the day the resignation is accepted or submitted; some start the next day. The calculator offers both.
Not always. Thirty calendar days from 1 February ends on 2 March, while one month ends on 28 February or 29 February. Check whether the contract says days or months.
For calendar-day or month notice, yes. They are skipped only if the contract defines notice in working days.
Yes, if the employer waives part of it or the contract allows the employee to pay in lieu. The notice pay calculator values the shortfall.
A calculator applies a rule to figures you type in. A payroll run applies it to your actual employee record, your locations and your verified declarations, which is where Professional Tax, LWF and TDS also resolve.
