Notice Period Calculator

Calculate statutory and contractual notice periods for employees and employers in England, Wales and Scotland.

How notice periods work

Statutory notice is based on an employee's continuous length of service. Employment contracts can provide longer notice periods, which may become the applicable notice period.

Calculate your notice period

Enter the notice period stated in the employment contract. The calculator will apply whichever is longer: statutory or contractual notice. Leave as 0 if unknown.

Important

This calculator provides an estimate based on UK statutory notice rules. Employment contracts may provide greater notice periods than the statutory minimum.

Where contractual notice exceeds statutory notice, contractual notice will normally apply.
