Two Weeks Notice Calculator
Find your exact last working day. Handles weeks, days, months and business days, and flags weekends and US federal holidays.
How the calculation works
Notice starts counting the day after you give it. Two weeks equals 14 calendar days; a four-week notice equals 28. When you choose working days, weekends (and optionally US federal holidays) are skipped.
Check before you hand in notice
- Read your contract and employee handbook for a required notice period.
- Ask whether unused vacation is paid out and when your benefits end.
- Confirm your last day in writing with HR.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate two weeks notice?
Count 14 calendar days starting the day after you give notice. If you hand in notice on Monday, October 5, your last day is Monday, October 19. Use the calculator above to check weekends and holidays.
Does two weeks notice mean 10 working days?
Usually yes: two weeks is 14 calendar days, which is normally 10 working days, fewer if a holiday falls inside.
What if my last day falls on a weekend?
Most employers treat the previous Friday as your last working day. Some prefer the following Monday, so confirm with HR.
Is two weeks notice required by law?
In most US states, no. It is customary. Your contract or employer policy may require a longer notice period.
