How it's calculated
- Notice period in days: last working day = resignation date + number of days − 1, if the resignation date is day 1. Otherwise, it’s the resignation date + number of days. A week is 7 days.
- Notice period in months: add months to the resignation date (1 October + 1 month = 1 November), subtract one day if the resignation date is day 1 (31 October). If the date doesn’t exist in the month later, use the month's last day first: 31 January + 1 month = 28 February (or 29 in a leap year), making the last day 27 February.
- Calendar days count every day, including weekends and holidays.
- Buyout ≈ monthly pay ÷ 30 × days you leave early, minus any leave days your employer agrees to use up.
In India, your notice period is in your offer or appointment letter and your employer's HR policy. Indian offer letters often show notice periods of 30 to 90 days. Though an employer might accept a buyout or agree to an early release, it's not required; make sure you get any agreement in writing.
