How this is worked out

The notice period in weeks is converted to calendar days and added to the start date, so four weeks means 28 days later.

Worked example

  • Notice starts 1 September 2026
  • 4 weeks notice

1 September plus 28 days

29 September 2026

Assumptions and limits

  • Counts calendar days, so weekends and bank holidays are included.
  • Uses the notice length you enter. Statutory minimum notice depends on length of service, and your contract may require more.
  • Contracts differ on when notice starts, for example the day after it is given. This is general information, not legal advice.
