About this calculator
When changing jobs in India, you are typically required to serve a notice period (often 30 to 90 days). If you want to leave early, you or your new employer must pay the old employer for the remaining notice period days.
This notice period buyout calculator helps both employees and recruiters estimate the recovery amount or early-exit buyout cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is notice buyout taxable under GST?
Yes, standard rulings indicate that notice period recovery or buyout charges collected by an employer from an employee are treated as a supply of service and attract GST (usually 18%).
Does the new employer pay for my notice buyout?
Many companies offer notice buyout reimbursement as an onboarding incentive. If they do, they will pay the amount, but it is typically treated as a taxable benefit in your hands and requires proving payment receipts.
How is notice period payout calculated?
The standard formula is: (Gross Monthly Salary / 30) * number of unserved days. Some organizations use Basic Salary instead of Gross, depending on the employment contract.
