Resigning is a date problem before it is an emotional one: hand in notice too early and you eat unpaid weeks; too late and your new employer waits, which is exactly how offers get rescinded. This planner works backwards from your target start date — subtract a sensible buffer, then your notice period minus any accrued leave you can take inside it — and tells you the exact date to resign and the day you will last work. Pair it with a signed contract and a couple of spare days, and the transition stops being guesswork.
Resign too early and you eat unpaid weeks; too late and your new employer waits. This planner works backwards from your start date to your resign-by date.
Usually yes, if you have accrued but untaken leave and your contract does not forbid it. Taking leave inside the notice shortens your working time without shortening the contract — check with HR before assuming.
Assume calendar days unless your contract explicitly says working days. That distinction can shift your last working day by a week, so read the exact clause before you plan around it.
At least five calendar days, and more if you are moving house or city. Buffer is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy against handover delays and start-date slippage.
