How Notice Period Buyout Works
A notice period buyout occurs when an employer pays you in lieu of serving your notice period. This is common when you're joining a new company and your current employer agrees to release you early.
Buyout Amount = Daily Rate × Working Days in Notice Period
Daily Rate = Monthly Salary ÷ 22 Working Days
The calculation assumes 22 working days per month. Your actual daily rate may vary based on your employment contract, company policy, and local labor laws.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is notice period buyout?
A notice period buyout is when your employer pays you instead of requiring you to serve your full notice period after resignation. You leave earlier and get compensated for the unserved time.
How is notice period buyout calculated?
Buyout = Daily Rate × Working Days Remaining. Daily Rate = Monthly Salary / 22. Example: $5,000/month with 15 days remaining = ($5,000 / 22) × 15 = $3,409.
Who pays the notice period buyout?
Your current employer pays the buyout. It compensates you for the remaining notice period you will not serve, typically as a one-time payment in your final settlement.
Can I calculate a partial notice period buyout?
Yes, enter the total notice period and the days already served. The calculator automatically computes the buyout for the remaining unserved period.
