UK notice period and last-day planner

Work out when notice starts, when employment ends, and whether holiday pulls your last active working day forward.

NoticeLine is for people who do not want a vague “two weeks from now” answer when resigning, planning a handover, or checking final-pay timing. Enter the date notice is given, the notice length, your work pattern, and any unused holiday you want to use during notice to get an estimated end date, last active working day, bank-holiday flags, and a clean written notice draft.

Build the notice plan How NoticeLine works
  • Useful for employees, founders, line managers, and small HR teams
  • Shows employment end date and last active working day separately when leave is used
  • Keeps the MVP browser-only: no login and no stored employment data

Built around real friction points

  • GOV.UK says notice usually runs from the start of the day after you hand it in, but contracts still vary.
  • Acas reminds people that final pay often changes because of holiday taken, not working the whole period, or leaving mid-pay cycle.
  • Many public calculators stop at the end date and do not help with leave, handover timing, or a usable written notice line.

NoticeLine is an informational planning aid, not legal advice. Contracts, collective agreements, and specialist circumstances can change the true answer.
