Find your last working day from your notice period

“Two weeks’ notice” sounds simple until you count it on a calendar: the day you hand it in, the weekends and the way your contract counts can each move the date. Enter the day you give notice and the length of the notice period. You get the day the notice ends and the last Monday-to-Friday on or before it. Public holidays are not known to this page, and your contract decides how notice is counted.

Contracts differ. If yours does not say, ask.

HolidaysPublic holidays are not known to this page, because they differ by country, region and employer. Check a calendar for the period shown. This is date arithmetic, not legal advice.

How the date is counted

  • Weeks and calendar days: the notice ends that many days after it starts. Two weeks from a Monday, starting the next day, end on the Monday two weeks later.
  • Months: the notice ends on the same day of the month, that many months later. If that month is shorter, it ends on its last day: one month from January 31 ends on the last day of February.
  • Working days: Mondays to Fridays are counted one by one from the start of the period; Saturdays and Sundays are skipped.
  • Last working day: the day the notice ends, or the last Monday-to-Friday before it when it ends on a weekend.

Public holidays are not known to this page. A holiday inside the period does not change the calendar date for weeks and months, but it shortens the days you actually work, and with a notice period counted in working days it can push the date later. The “working days left” are Mondays to Fridays with no holidays or vacation taken off. This is date arithmetic, not legal advice: how notice is counted, and whether it must end on a particular day such as the end of a month, is set by your contract and the law where you work.

Questions about the last working day calculator

How do I count two weeks’ notice?

Count 14 calendar days from the start of the notice period. If you give notice on a Monday and the period starts the next day, it ends on the Monday two weeks later, which leaves ten working days.

Does the day I give notice count?

That depends on your contract and the rules where you work. A common way to count is from the day after notice is given, which is the setting this calculator starts with. Switch it to “the day you give notice” if yours counts that day as day one.

Are public holidays taken into account?

No. The page does not know which holidays apply where you work. Check a calendar for the period it shows: a holiday reduces the days you work, and with a notice period counted in working days it can move the last day.

What if my notice ends on a weekend?

The notice still ends on that date, but the last day you work is the Friday before, if you work Monday to Friday. The calculator shows both dates.
