How to write a two weeks notice letter
A good two weeks notice letter fits on half a page. Open with the news: you are resigning from your position, and your last day of work is a specific date. Then offer to help with the handover and thank your employer. That is all it needs.
Address it to your direct manager and send a copy to HR if your company asks for one. Talk to your manager before it lands in their inbox; the letter confirms the conversation and the date.
The same text works as a resignation letter template for a longer notice period: set your own last day and the letter follows.
Before you hand it in
Make sure your new offer is final and in writing. Weighing more than one? Put them side by side in the job offer comparison template.
If your employer makes a counter-offer, the pay raise calculator shows what the raise is really worth after inflation.
Check how much paid time off you have left and whether your company pays it out, and save anything personal from your work accounts before your last day.
Frequently asked questions
What should a two weeks notice letter include?
Keep it short: say that you are resigning, name your job title, and give your last day of work. Most letters also thank the employer and offer help with the handover. You don't have to explain why you are leaving.
How do I calculate my last day with two weeks notice?
Count 14 days from the day you hand in your notice. If you resign on a Monday, your last day is the Monday two weeks later; some people choose the Friday before. The generator fills in two weeks from your notice date and moves a weekend to the Friday before, and you can change it.
Do I have to give two weeks notice?
In the US, most jobs are at-will, so two weeks notice is a courtesy rather than a legal requirement. Check your employment contract, union agreement or company handbook, which can require a longer notice period. Outside the US, notice periods are often set by law or contract.
Should I send my notice by email or as a printed letter?
Tell your manager in person or on a call first if you can, then follow up in writing so there is a record of the date. Email is the norm at most companies. Choose Email above to get a subject line and open the message in your email app.
What should I leave out of a resignation letter?
Leave out complaints, criticism of colleagues and details about your new salary or employer. The letter is kept in your file and may be read by people you'll want a good reference from.
What is the difference between a resignation letter and a two weeks notice letter?
A two weeks notice letter is a resignation letter that gives two weeks' notice. You can use this generator as a resignation letter template for any notice period by setting your own last day.
Is the generator free, and does it use AI?
It is free and needs no account. It doesn't use AI: your letter is assembled in your browser from fixed templates, and nothing you type is sent or stored.
