Notice Period Calculator
Calculate your last working day and earliest joining date from your resignation date and notice period — with 30/60/90-day presets, buyout, and leave adjustment. Free, instant, no signup.
How it works
Pick your resignation date and notice period (30, 60, or 90 days are common in India, or enter a custom number). If your employer allows a buyout or adjusting unused leave against the notice, add those days too — the calculator subtracts them from your notice period to find your real last working day.
Why this matters during a job search
"What's your notice period?" is one of the first questions a recruiter asks, and a vague answer costs you credibility. Knowing your exact last working day — and a realistic earliest joining date — lets you negotiate a start date with confidence instead of guessing on the spot.
Plan the whole transition
Once you know your timeline, work out whether the new offer is actually worth the notice period with the Salary / CTC Calculator, or double-check the role itself with the Job Description Analyzer.
Frequently asked questions
- How is last working day calculated?
- Resignation date + effective notice period (your stated notice period minus any buyout days or leave you adjust against it).
- Can I buy out my notice period?
- Many Indian employers allow paying in lieu of some or all of the remaining notice. Enter the number of days you plan to buy out and this tool reduces your effective notice accordingly — actual policy varies by employer, so confirm with HR.
- What is the earliest joining date?
- This tool assumes you can join the day after your last working day. Some new employers allow a short gap for relocation or a break — treat this as the earliest possible date, not a guarantee.
- Why does my notice period matter for job hunting?
- A 90-day notice period is a real constraint recruiters ask about early — knowing your exact last working day and earliest start date lets you answer precisely instead of guessing during a live interview.
