About
About QuitWithoutNotice.com
QuitWithoutNotice.com is an independent online information and decision-support website providing employment-related calculators, educational resources, and jurisdiction-aware guidance.
QuitWithoutNotice.com provides general information and decision-support tools, not legal, financial, employment, or other professional advice. Employment rules vary by jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Check the law and terms applicable to your situation and seek qualified local advice when necessary.
What this is
A planning site for one decision
Most people arrive here having already had the thought. The question is rarely whether they want to leave — it is what happens if they leave now, without working the notice their contract asks for. That question has an answer, and it is usually a mix of contract wording, local employment law, money, and timing.
This site exists to break that question into parts a person can actually work through, in the order the decision is made: what does my contract oblige me to do, what could realistically follow if I do not do it, and can I afford the gap either way.
The tools
What you can work out here
Three calculators and a set of written guides. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is sent anywhere, stored, or seen by anyone.
- Can I quit without notice?
A structured assessment that weighs your contract, your notice period, your reason for leaving and your finances together, then explains which of those is doing the most work in the answer.
- Notice period calculator
Counts a last working day from a resignation date and a notice length, and shows what an unserved remainder is worth in pay.
- Job runway calculator
How long your savings cover your outgoings with no salary arriving, which is the constraint that usually decides the timing.
- What happens if I quit without notice
The sequence of events after an immediate resignation — final pay, references, recovery claims — written as a sequence rather than a list of worst cases.
The written guides cover the same ground in more depth: how notice periods work, what a buyout is, how to leave immediately, and what to put in the letter.
Jurisdiction
Employment rules are local, and this site says so
What you owe when you resign comes from two places: your employment agreement, and the law of the country — sometimes the state, province or region — you work in. Those differ enough that a single answer written for everybody would be wrong for almost everybody.
So pages here are one of two things, and they say which. A page that names a country states that country’s rules and cites the government source for each one. A page that names no country is deliberately jurisdiction-neutral: it explains a mechanism that exists in many places without asserting the numbers anywhere in particular.
Reading a page in your own language does not make it about your country. Language and jurisdiction are separate, and the translated pages are the jurisdiction-neutral ones for exactly that reason.
Sources
How the country pages are written
Each registered legal claim on a country page is tied to a named primary source: the legislation itself, or the government agency’s own guidance, and where a rule is judge-made, the court. Each source carries the date it was last fetched and checked against what the page says. Who did that reading is not recorded: parts of the research and drafting were AI-assisted, and no separate human or expert review is recorded or claimed.
Commercial blogs, HR-software marketing pages and AI output are not sources here. They are sometimes useful for finding the government document, and that is the end of their role.
Part of this is enforced by the build rather than promised. It fails if a country page’s registered claims cite no dated source, or if a question-and-answer entry or country-page note marked as stating a country’s law cites none, cites an unregistered one, or cites one for the wrong country. That covers those records, not every sentence: the explanatory prose around them and the translated pages are kept accurate by editing and by corrections, not by an automated check.
What is checked, and how often
- Each source has a planned review date. Each cited document carries a next-review date, six months after it was last checked. That date is a plan, not a record that a review has happened, and nothing re-reads a source automatically. Law changes, and a citation that was accurate in March is not self-evidently accurate in December — which is why the date a source was last checked is printed beside it.
- Dates on the page are real dates. A "last updated" date here means the content changed on that day. It is never a build timestamp, and it is never moved forward to look fresh.
- Corrections are welcome and acted on. If a page states something that conflicts with a government source, that is a defect. Send it and it gets fixed — see the contact page.
Limits
What this site is not
This is not a law firm, a legal service, an HR consultancy, an employment lawyer or a financial adviser, and nothing here is individualised advice about your situation. No one here reviews your contract, represents you, or can tell you what a tribunal would decide.
Coverage is genuinely partial. Four countries have source-backed pages; the rest of the world does not, and the site says so rather than generating a page per country from a template. A calculator’s output is an estimate built from what you typed, not a figure your employer is bound by.
Where the stakes are real — money you cannot afford to lose, a threatened claim, a visa or an immigration status tied to your job — the right next step is a qualified adviser in your own country, not a website.
Where to go from here
- Work through the assessment if you are deciding now.
- Read how notice periods work if you want the mechanism first.
- Send a correction or a question about the site itself.
