Estimate notice-period pay and recovery

See your per-day salary, the pay for the notice days you serve, and the recovery risk for unserved days. This is an estimate of the notice-pay portion only, not legal advice or a settlement statement.

Your salary and notice

Limitations

  • Per-day salary depends on the component (gross or basic) and divisor your company uses.
  • Whether paid leave offsets the notice shortfall is a company-policy choice, not a rule.
  • Tax/TDS, PF, gratuity, bonus, and leave encashment are not modelled.
  • This does not interpret your contract or give legal advice on enforceability.

Formula

Per-day salary

Per-day salary = monthly salary ÷ chosen day count (30, 26, or 31)

A daily rate is derived from the monthly salary. Companies divide by different day counts, so the chosen basis is shown and editable.

Shortfall and leave

Shortfall = required notice − served days · Unserved = shortfall − leave applied

The shortfall is how many notice days are missing. Paid leave allowed against notice (capped at the shortfall) reduces the unserved days.

Payable and recovery

Payable = served days × per-day salary · Recovery = unserved days × per-day salary

You are paid for the days you serve, and the company may recover notice pay for the days left unserved. If served days are unpaid, the payable part is zero.

Net on the salary side

Net = payable for served − recovery for unserved

A positive net means salary may remain after recovery; a negative net means more may be owed to the employer, before other settlement items.

Worked example

Example: 60-day notice, 30 days served, ₹60,000 salary

An employee with a ₹60,000 monthly salary and a 60-day notice can serve only 30 days, divides salary by 30, and has no leave to adjust.

Calculation:Per-day salary = ₹60,000 ÷ 30 = ₹2,000. Shortfall = 60 − 30 = 30 days, all unserved. Payable for 30 served days = ₹60,000. Recovery for 30 unserved days = ₹60,000.

Result:The 30 served days earn about ₹60,000, while the company may recover about ₹60,000 for the 30 unserved days, leaving a net of about ₹0 on the salary side before other full and final settlement items.

Assumptions

  • Per-day salary uses the monthly salary you enter divided by the day count you choose; companies may use gross, basic, or a different divisor.
  • Recovery applies only to unserved notice days after any allowed leave adjustment.
  • Leave adjustment is applied only up to the shortfall; extra leave encashment is not calculated here.
  • Whether paid leave can be set off against notice depends entirely on company policy and your contract.
  • Tax, TDS, PF, gratuity, bonus, and leave encashment are not modelled; this covers the notice-pay portion only.
  • Weekends and holidays within the notice are treated as part of the day count, not handled separately.
  • Results are rounded to whole rupees and are an estimate, not a final settlement statement.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the company always uses a 30-day divisor when some use 26 working days or actual calendar days.
  • Expecting paid leave to cover the notice shortfall when the policy does not allow it.
  • Confusing the salary for served days with the recovery for unserved days.
  • Using gross salary when the contract recovers on basic, or the reverse.
  • Treating this notice-pay estimate as the full and final settlement, which also includes leave encashment, gratuity, and deductions.
  • Forgetting that the employer may withhold the relieving letter until dues are settled.

Accuracy notes

Per-day salary and recovery are computed from the monthly salary and day-count you enter, with whole-rupee rounding. Actual notice pay depends on your contract and company policy, including the salary component used, the divisor, and whether leave can offset the shortfall. This is a planning estimate, not legal advice or a settlement statement.

Frequently asked questions

How is notice period salary recovery calculated?

A per-day salary is found by dividing the monthly salary by a day count (often 30). The recovery is that daily rate multiplied by the number of unserved notice days remaining after any allowed leave adjustment.

Is notice pay based on gross or basic salary?

It depends on the company and your contract. Some recover on monthly gross, others on basic. Enter the component your employer applies; the calculator uses whatever monthly salary you provide.

Can paid leave reduce my notice shortfall?

Sometimes. Many companies allow unused paid leave to be adjusted against the notice shortfall, but it is a policy choice, not a rule. Confirm it in writing; this tool reduces the unserved days only up to the shortfall.

What is a notice period buyout?

A buyout is paying for notice days you do not serve, so you can leave earlier. Enter the days you will actually serve and the calculator shows the recovery for the rest.

Why divide by 30, 26, or 31?

Employers compute a daily rate differently. Dividing by 30 is common, 26 reflects working days in some payrolls, and 31 uses actual calendar days. The basis changes the per-day amount, so it is editable.

Does this include tax, PF, or gratuity?

No. It estimates only the notice-pay portion. Income tax or TDS, PF, gratuity, bonus, and leave encashment are part of the wider full and final settlement and are not modelled here.

Can my employer force me to serve the full notice?

This calculator does not give legal advice. In practice notice terms vary by contract and are often negotiated through buyout or leave adjustment. Refer to your contract and HR policy for what applies to you.

What does a negative net mean?

It means the recovery for unserved days is larger than the pay for the days you serve, so on the salary side an amount could be owed to the employer before other settlement items are added.

This calculator provides a general estimate of the notice-pay portion of an exit, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Actual notice terms, recovery, and settlement depend on your employment contract and company policy. Refer to your contract and HR for binding figures.Read the full disclaimer.
