Three rules behind the date
Notice periods in India are counted in calendar days, so weekends and holidays are included. The only judgement calls are the unit and the start day.
Days or months.
A notice written as "90 days" is counted day by day. One written as "3 months" ends on the same date three calendar months later, which can be 89 to 92 days.
Day one.
Most HR policies count the resignation date as day one. Some start the next day. Tick the box if yours does, it moves the date by one.
Buyout.
Unserved days are usually recovered at your basic salary per day. Ask your new employer to cover it before you sign the offer.
Large IT services companies commonly set 60 to 90 days, startups often 30. How to shorten yours: notice period negotiation in India. Planning the switch? See the job search checklist and the other free tools.

How is the last working day calculated from a notice period?
Count the notice period forward from the date you resign. If your company counts the resignation date as day one, a 30-day notice from 1 March ends on 30 March. If the clock starts the next day, it ends on 31 March. Your appointment letter or HR policy says which one applies, and the calculator handles both.
Is a 3-month notice period the same as 90 days?
Not always. Three calendar months from 15 January ends on 14 April, which is 90 days, but from 1 December it ends on 28 February, which is 90 days only in a leap year. Check whether your letter says months or days and pick the matching unit.
How is notice period buyout calculated?
Most companies charge your basic salary for the days you do not serve. The common formula is monthly basic divided by 30, multiplied by the unserved days. Some employers use gross salary or divide by 26 working days, so treat the result as an estimate and confirm the formula with HR.
Can my new employer pay my notice period buyout?
Often, yes. Many companies hiring in India will reimburse a buyout, usually as a joining bonus, when they need you sooner. Ask during offer negotiation, before you sign, with the exact amount from your current employer.
Do weekends and holidays count in the notice period?
Usually yes. Notice periods in India are normally counted in calendar days, so weekends and public holidays are included. Leave taken during notice may extend it, depending on company policy.
