Gratuity Calculator

Estimate your gratuity payout from salary and years of service.

Tip: service of 6 months or more beyond a full year is rounded up to the next year as per convention.

How to use

Enter your last drawn monthly Basic + DA and total years of service. Gratuity is calculated as (15 ÷ 26) × last salary × rounded years of service.

Note

Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, employees need at least 5 continuous years of service to qualify, and payout is capped by government rules. This estimate is informational.

Exactly 5 years minus a week?
