Singapore notice inputs
Enter the employment start date and notice date first. Salary is optional; date results can still be calculated without it.
CPF contributions are required on salary earned while serving notice because you are still considered an employee.
If your employment contract specifies a notice period, this calculator uses your contract notice period. If your contract does not specify one, it uses MOM’s default notice period table based on length of service.
In Singapore, the notice period includes the day notice is given. Public holidays, rest days, and non-working days are also included, so they do not extend the notice period.
For a monthly-rated employee, this calculator uses MOM’s daily gross-rate formula: 12 × monthly gross rate of pay ÷ (52 × average working days per week). Salary in lieu is only estimated from explicit payable notice days.

| Length of service | Notice period |
|---|---|
| Less than 26 weeks | 1 day |
| 26 weeks to less than 2 years | 1 week |
| 2 years to less than 5 years | 2 weeks |
| 5 years or more | 4 weeks |
CPF contributions apply to salary earned while serving notice because you remain an employee during the notice period.
CPF contributions are not required for salary in lieu of notice.
No contract notice period. Employee has worked for 3 years. MOM statutory notice period is 2 weeks. If notice is given on 6 July 2026, the estimated last employment day is 19 July 2026 because the notice day counts as day 1.
No contract notice period. Employee has worked for 6 years, enters a S$5,000 monthly gross rate of pay and 5 average working days per week, and payroll confirms 20 payable days. Daily gross rate is S$230.77; estimated salary in lieu is S$230.77 × 20 = S$4,615.40.
Contract notice period is 1 month. If notice is given on 15 July 2025, the estimated last employment day is 14 August 2025.
Contract notice period is 1 month. If notice is given on 29, 30, or 31 January 2025, the estimated last employment day is 28 February 2025.
