Calculate UK statutory and contractual notice period plus PILON or garden leave pay.
Enter your start date
Use the date your continuous service began. Continuous service includes most TUPE transfers and group-company moves.
Add your end date or notice date
Use the date your employer terminates or the date you serve notice. The calculator works out completed years.
Enter your contractual notice period
Check your employment contract or staff handbook. Typical contracts say one month or three months for senior roles.
Add your gross weekly or monthly pay
Use base salary; exclude irregular bonus unless contractually guaranteed. PILON is based on contractual pay.
Choose worked notice, PILON or garden leave
Worked notice and garden leave pay you normally through PAYE. PILON is a single taxable lump sum.
Review notice owed and tax position
The result shows weeks of notice and the gross payment. Apply your marginal tax band — typically 20% or 40% — to estimate net.
