Select the date you submit your resignation letter or give written resignation notice.
Use the notice period stated in your employment contract, such as 7 days or 1 month.
The calculator estimates your final employment date by counting calendar days.
Singapore notice period rules
In Singapore, the notice period is usually based on the employment contract. The notice period should generally be the same for employer and employee. If a party does not serve the required notice, salary in lieu of notice may be payable.
| Situation | General treatment | Practical meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Contract states notice period | Follow the employment contract | Example: 1 month notice, 2 weeks notice or 7 days notice. |
| No notice period in contract | Use statutory notice period based on service length | The longer the service period, the longer the default notice period may be. |
| Cannot serve full notice | Salary in lieu of notice may be payable | The party ending employment early may need to pay for the unserved notice. |
| Notice waived | Can be waived by mutual consent | Both employer and employee should record the waiver in writing. |
If your contract has no notice period
If your employment contract does not specify a notice period, the default notice period depends on your length of service.
| Length of service | Default notice period | Calculator input |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 26 weeks | 1 day | Choose “Less than 26 weeks” or enter 1 day. |
| 26 weeks to less than 2 years | 1 week | Choose “26 weeks to less than 2 years” or enter 1 week. |
| 2 years to less than 5 years | 2 weeks | Choose “2 years to less than 5 years” or enter 2 weeks. |
| 5 years or more | 4 weeks | Choose “5 years or more” or enter 4 weeks. |
Does notice period include weekends and public holidays?
Yes. Notice period generally includes the day on which notice is given, public holidays, rest days and non-working days. This is why notice period is normally counted by calendar dates, not only working days.
If you give notice today, today is normally included as part of the notice period.
Saturdays, Sundays, rest days and non-working days are generally counted.
Public holidays during the notice period generally do not extend your last day.
Notice period examples
These examples show how the calculator treats common resignation notice periods.
| Notice given date | Notice period | Estimated last day | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 July 2026 | 1 month | 14 August 2026 | One month notice includes the day notice is given. |
| 1 March 2026 | 2 weeks | 14 March 2026 | Two weeks is counted as 14 calendar days including the notice date. |
| 10 June 2026 | 7 days | 16 June 2026 | Seven days notice means the notice date is counted as day 1. |
| 31 January 2026 | 1 month | 28 February 2026 | Month-end dates may roll to the last valid day of the following month. |
Salary in lieu of notice
Salary in lieu of notice means paying the other party for the notice period that is not served. This may apply when an employee resigns without serving full notice or when an employer asks an employee to leave before the notice period ends.
If you resign immediately, you may need to pay salary in lieu to your employer.
If the employer ends employment early, salary in lieu may be payable to the employee.
Notice can be waived if both parties agree. It is safer to record this in writing.
Annual leave, sick leave and notice period
Leave during notice period can be confusing. The treatment may differ depending on whether you are taking annual leave, offsetting notice, taking sick leave or applying for unpaid leave.
| Situation | General treatment | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Approved annual leave during notice | Usually part of notice period | You remain employed until the last day unless notice is offset. |
| Annual leave used to offset notice | Can bring forward last day if employer agrees | This is different from simply taking leave during notice. |
| Sick leave during notice | Generally treated as part of notice period if valid | Valid sick leave usually does not extend the notice period. |
| Unpaid leave during notice | May require employer agreement | Unpaid leave approval is usually at employer discretion. |

How do I calculate my notice period in Singapore?
Start from the date you give notice. The notice period generally includes the notice date itself, public holidays, rest days and non-working days. For example, if you give 1 month notice on 15 July, your estimated last day is usually 14 August.
Does notice period include weekends in Singapore?
Yes. Notice period generally includes rest days and non-working days, so weekends are normally counted unless your specific contract or situation provides otherwise.
Does notice period include public holidays?
Yes. Public holidays during the notice period are generally included and do not automatically extend your last day.
Is the resignation date counted as part of notice period?
Yes. The day on which notice is given is generally included as part of the notice period.
What if my contract does not mention notice period?
If your employment contract does not specify a notice period, the default notice period depends on length of service: less than 26 weeks is 1 day, 26 weeks to less than 2 years is 1 week, 2 years to less than 5 years is 2 weeks, and 5 years or more is 4 weeks.
Can I resign immediately in Singapore?
You can end employment without serving notice by paying salary in lieu of notice, unless the notice is waived by mutual consent or a special situation applies. Always check your contract and MOM guidance.
What is salary in lieu of notice?
Salary in lieu of notice is money equivalent to the salary that would have been earned during the required notice period that was not served.
Can annual leave offset notice period?
Annual leave can offset notice period only if your employer agrees. Offsetting notice with annual leave is different from taking approved annual leave while still serving the full notice.
Does sick leave extend my notice period?
Valid sick leave during notice is generally treated as part of the notice period. In normal cases, it does not automatically extend the notice period.
Is this notice period calculator official?
No. SG Salary Tools provides general planning calculators only. For official rules and special cases, always refer to MOM or seek professional advice.
