Question 1

Is the resignation letter generator really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. You can create and download your resignation letter in both PDF and editable Word format at no cost. There is no payment, no subscription, and no hidden fees. The site is supported by advertising.

Question 2

Do I need to sign up or give my email?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't require any signup, registration, or email address. Simply fill in your details, preview your letter, and download it instantly. Your information stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

Question 3

Are these resignation letters suitable for the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every template is written for UK employees and reflects current UK employment practice for 2026, including notice periods under the Employment Rights Act 1996. They are professionally worded but are not a substitute for regulated legal advice. For complex situations such as constructive dismissal, consider speaking to ACAS or a solicitor.

Question 4

Can I resign without giving notice?

Accepted Answer

You can, but there may be consequences. Leaving without serving your contractual or statutory notice could put you in breach of contract, and your employer may withhold pay for unworked notice. Immediate resignation is usually only advisable in serious situations. See our guides on resigning without notice for full detail.

Question 5

How much notice do I need to give in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Check your contract first, as it sets your notice period. If your contract is silent, the statutory minimum is one week's notice once you've worked for at least one month. Many employers ask for one month. Our generator lets you set any notice period and calculates your last working day.

Question 6

What situations do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We cover standard resignations, immediate resignation, resigning without notice, resignation due to stress, constructive dismissal, retirement, and director resignations. Each situation has a tailored template and a supporting guide.

Question 7

Can I edit the letter after downloading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can download a fully editable Word (.docx) file as well as a print-ready PDF, both for free. Open the Word version in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any word processor to make changes.

Question 8

How quickly can I get my letter?

Accepted Answer

Instantly. As soon as you've filled in the form you can download your letter straight away. The whole process usually takes a couple of minutes.

Question 9

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your details are only used in your browser to generate the letter and are not saved on our servers. We comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
