Next step: Notice Period Calculator
How it works
Enter the last working day you want and how long your notice period is. The calculator works backward from that target date using the same calendar-day, business-day, and month rules as the Notice Period Calculator—just in reverse.
Calendar-day mode counts every UTC calendar day backward from the target date. Business-day mode skips weekends and can optionally skip a sample US federal holiday list—the same rules as the Notice Period and Add/Subtract Business Days calculators.
The optional “Include last working day” setting treats that day as one of the notice days when enabled; otherwise it is not counted toward the length, matching the Notice Period Calculator's start-date option.
Common uses
Planning when to submit a resignation letter, confirming a notice deadline against a target end date, and coordinating a job transition when you already know the day you want to leave.
Resignation letter timing
Work backward from a desired last day to find the exact date to submit notice.
Job transition planning
Confirm the resignation deadline needed to align a notice period with a new job's start date.
Contract notice deadlines
Pair with the Contract End Date Calculator when a notice clause is tied to a fixed termination date.

FAQ
- How do I calculate when I need to resign?
- Enter the last working day you want and your notice period length and unit. The calculator subtracts that length backward from your target date and shows the resignation deadline.
- How is this different from the Notice Period Calculator?
- The Notice Period Calculator starts from a known notice date and calculates forward to find the end date. This calculator starts from a target last working day and calculates backward to find when notice must be given.
- Are weekends and holidays handled the same way?
- Yes. Business-day mode skips weekends and can exclude the same sample US federal holiday list used elsewhere on DateToolsHQ.
- Is this legal or HR advice?
- No. Notice requirements vary by jurisdiction, contract, and company policy. Use this date for planning and confirm with your employer, HR team, or a qualified advisor.
