Tenancy Notice Calculator
Work out the minimum notice a landlord or tenant must legally give before ending a tenancy in Nigeria, based on the rent period. Free, instant calculator.
Tenancy Notice Period Calculator
Nigerian tenancy law generally follows these standard notice periods (as reflected in, e.g., the Lagos State Tenancy Law). Some states and lease agreements set different periods — always check your tenancy agreement and local law.
Not legal advice: This calculator gives a general estimate based on commonly-applied notice periods. Notice requirements vary by state and by the terms of your tenancy agreement. Confirm with a lawyer before acting on this.

Employment Notice Period Calculator
Under the Nigerian Labour Act, the minimum notice an employer or employee must give to end an employment contract is generally tied to length of service. Your employment contract or collective agreement may specify a longer period — the longer of the two applies.
Not legal advice: The Labour Act sets minimum standards; it does not currently cover every category of worker, and some states/sectors have their own rules. Always check the written contract first.
Redundancy / Severance Pay Estimator
Nigerian law does not fix one universal severance formula — it is usually set by your contract, company policy, or collective bargaining agreement (often expressed as a number of weeks' or months' pay per year of service). Enter your own terms below to estimate a figure.
Not legal advice: This is only a calculator for figures you supply — it does not tell you what you are legally entitled to. Check your contract, staff handbook, or collective agreement, or speak with a lawyer.
Interest & Late Payment Penalty Calculator
Estimate interest owed on a late payment, debt, or judgment sum, using a rate you specify (from a contract, court judgment, or statute).
Not legal advice: There is no single mandatory interest rate for private debts in Nigeria — courts and contracts each set their own. Use the rate stated in your agreement or judgment.
Age & Legal Capacity Checker
Enter a date of birth to see the current age and some commonly-referenced age thresholds under Nigerian law. Some of these vary by state, religion, or customary law.
Not legal advice: These thresholds are general reference points drawn from federal statutes (such as the Child's Rights Act) and widely-applied norms. State-level adoption of the Child's Rights Act is not uniform across Nigeria, and religious or customary law may set different ages for some purposes — verify locally.
Limitation Period Guide
A "limitation period" is the time limit within which you must file a case in court, after which the right to sue may be lost. Periods differ by state and by the type of claim — the figures below are commonly-seen general examples (based on typical state Limitation Laws), not a substitute for checking the specific statute that applies to you.
Not legal advice: Each Nigerian state has its own Limitation Law, and the period can also depend on when the "cause of action" arose. Confirm the exact period and start date with a lawyer before relying on it — missing a limitation period can permanently bar a claim.
Which Court? Jurisdiction Wizard
A quick, general pointer to the type of court that typically handles a claim like yours. Actual jurisdiction depends on subject matter, monetary limits (which vary by state), and sometimes the parties involved (e.g. government, companies).
Not legal advice: The Lagos Small Claims Court threshold shown is a commonly-cited figure (₦5,000,000, excluding interest and costs) under the Lagos Magistrates' Courts practice directions; other states set their own limits and procedures, and this wizard cannot capture every rule. Confirm with the relevant court registry or a lawyer.
Debt Recovery Demand Letter

Not legal advice: This is a general-purpose starting template. In Lagos, a Letter of Demand in the prescribed form is also a formal pre-condition for filing at the Small Claims Court — check the current form required by your court before relying solely on this.
Employment Termination Letter
Preview
Not legal advice: This is a general-purpose starting template. Wrongful or unfair termination rules, and any severance owed, depend on the contract and applicable law — have this reviewed before sending.
General Power of Attorney
Preview
Not legal advice: A Power of Attorney affecting land or property normally needs to be executed, stamped, and in some cases registered to be effective — a printed draft alone is a starting point, not a complete legal instrument. Have it reviewed and properly executed before use.
Affidavit of Fact
Preview
Not legal advice: An affidavit is only valid once sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths, magistrate, or other authorized official — printing this draft does not make it a legal document. A false statement in a sworn affidavit can amount to perjury, so verify every fact before swearing to it.
