Notice Period Calculator

Your last working day based on resignation date and notice period.

Overview

Calculates official employee last working day (LWD) dates, notice period shortfall buyouts, and leave adjustment credits upon resignation.

Formula & Calculation Method

Last Working Day = Resignation Date + Notice Period Duration (in Days or Months) - Approved Leave Deductions

Computes last working day, calculates gross salary buyout penalties for early release, and reconciles earned leave balances.

Worked Example: Resignation on October 1st with 90-Day Notice Period

Inputs: Resignation Date = October 1, 2026 | Notice Period = 90 Days | Earned Leave Adjusted = 10 Days

  • Standard 90-day completion date = December 30, 2026
  • Subtract 10 days of approved earned leave adjustment
  • Official Revised Last Working Day (LWD) = December 20, 2026

Summary: Resigned = Oct 1, 2026 | Full Notice = 90 Days | Adjusted LWD = Dec 20, 2026
