Quick answer
Ways to tell someone it's time to go
The simplest way is "It's time to go." It's clear, polite, and works almost anywhere. For a joke that still means "leave now," say "You pack your bags." When something is completely finished and nothing more can happen, use "This is the end of the line." For everyday leaving, "We should get going" and "Let's call it a night" sound friendly and natural.

Each line explained
-
It's time to go. Tone: Gentle and clear
Use it when you or a group need to leave any place, like a party, a shop, or a friend's home. It's neutral and polite, so it rarely sounds rude, but say it kindly if you're ending someone else's visit.
“It's time to go.”
-
You pack your bags. Tone: Playful but firm
Use it to tell someone to leave, usually as a joke between friends or family. Don't use it with a boss, a customer, or a stranger, because it can sound like you're throwing them out.
“You pack your bags, Ted.”
-
This is the end of the line. Tone: Serious and final
Use it when something is completely over and nothing more can happen, like a plan, a project, or a relationship. It's too heavy for simply leaving a café.
“This is the end of the line.”
-
We should get going. Tone: Friendly and polite
Use it when you're a guest and want to leave without sounding sudden. It works well with hosts, friends, and coworkers. It's softer than "It's time to go."
-
I'd better head out. Tone: Casual and polite
Use it when you leave alone and want to explain gently that you need to go. It's good at work or with friends. It sounds less natural in very formal settings.
-
Let's call it a night. Tone: Relaxed and friendly
Use it in the evening to end an activity, like work, a game, or a party. Use "Let's call it a day" during the day. Don't use it in the morning.
Common mistakes
-
Not quite
It's time for go.Better It's time to go.
After "It's time" you need "to" plus the verb: "It's time to go," "It's time to leave." You can also use a noun: "It's time for bed."
-
Not quite
Saying "This is the end of the line" when you just leave a party.Better We should get going.
"The end of the line" means something is completely over. For normal leaving it sounds dramatic, so choose a lighter line.
-
Not quite
Saying "Pack your bags" to a customer or your manager.Better I'm afraid we're closing now.
"Pack your bags" is a joke between people who know each other well. With others it can sound like you're throwing them out.
