Create a polished two-week notice letter or email in seconds
This produces a professionally-worded draft, not legal advice. Notice obligations are set by your contract, offer letter, and employee handbook — those override any default here. Tip: tell your manager verbally first, then send the written letter for the record.
Your details — fields marked * are required
Your legal name — appears in the signature block.
Name the exact role you're vacating.
Lets them reach you during handover.
Recipient
Address your supervisor by name — far more professional than a generic salutation.
Dates & notice
The legal date of record. Defaults to today.
"Two weeks" = 14 calendar or 10 business days.
2 weeks is the US norm; UK/EU roles run 1–3 months. 0 = effective immediately. Fractional values (e.g. 1.5) round up to the next whole day.
Leave blank to auto-compute from the date + notice. If set, this wins.
Tone & content
A reason is optional — keep it to one neutral line, never a grievance.

Resignation Letter Generator — guide & how to use
What it does
This tool builds a polished, copy-ready resignation letter (or notice email) from a short
form. It states your resignation clearly, names your exact job title and company, sets a specific
last working day, and adds a tone-matched thank-you and an offer to help with the
transition. It also computes the last day for you from your letter date and notice period, and shows
exactly how much notice the employer actually receives.
How to use it
Enter your name, job title, and company (all required).
Set your letter date and notice period — or type a specific last working day to override.
Pick a tone, optionally add a neutral reason, then Copy or Download .txt.
The last-working-day math (how the date is computed)
Calendar mode: last day = letter date + (weeks × 7) calendar days, counting from the day after the letter date.
Business mode: advance one day at a time from the day after the letter date, counting only Mon–Fri; "two weeks" = 10 business days, and the result is always a weekday.
Months mode (UK/EU norm): last day = the same day-of-month N months later. If that day doesn't exist (e.g. Jan 31 + 1 month), it clamps to the last day of the target month (Feb 28/29).
If you type a last working day directly, it always wins — and the tool shows a reconciliation note if it disagrees with your notice period.
HR best practice (baked in)
Keep it concise and positive — never burn bridges. The letter becomes a permanent HR record.
Always state the resignation clearly and give a specific last working day.
Offer to help with the transition; it materially protects your future references.
A reason is optional — at most one neutral line. Never include salary, the new employer, or grievances.
Give verbal notice to your manager first, then send this letter for the record.
What this tool intentionally leaves out
No salary or pay comparisons, no naming of your new employer, and no grievances — by design. These are
the most common bridge-burning mistakes, and they belong nowhere in a resignation letter.
Accuracy note: Two weeks' notice is a US custom, not a law — US employment is
generally at-will. Outside the US, notice is often 1–3 months and may be legally or contractually
mandatory (senior/executive roles 3–6 months). The UK "one week per year of service" minimum is the
employer's obligation to the employee, not your resignation minimum — don't conflate them. Always
defer to your live contract. This is a drafting tool, not legal advice.
State your resignation clearly, name the exact job title and company, give a specific last working day (typically two weeks out), thank your employer briefly, and offer to help with the transition. This free generator assembles all of that for you from a short form — keep it positive and concise, and never include grievances.
Is two weeks' notice required by law?
In the US, two weeks' notice is a workplace custom, not a law — employment is generally at-will. Outside the US (UK, Ireland, Germany, France), notice is often 1–3 months and may be legally or contractually required. Always defer to your employment contract, offer letter, and employee handbook, which override any default this tool suggests.
