Gratuity is a statutory lump-sum payment under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, that an employer pays when an employee leaves the organisation - usually after at least five years of continuous service. The formula is: 15 days' salary (Basic plus Dearness Allowance) per completed year of service, computed as 15 times salary times years of service divided by 26 - the 26 divisor comes from the daily wage itself being computed as the monthly salary divided by 26 working days. Establishments not covered by the Act often use a 30-day divisor instead.

The calculation runs entirely locally in your browser, with no upload. Enter your last drawn monthly salary (Basic plus DA), your completed years of service and any additional months - by law, a part-year of six months or more in your final year counts as one additional full year, while less than six months does not count. Also choose whether your employment is covered by the Gratuity Act (26-day formula) or not (30-day formula). The calculator automatically applies the statutory ceiling of Rs 20,00,000 (20 lakh) if the formula's raw result would exceed it.

An honest note: this is a model calculation following the statutory formula and is not legal advice. Not modelled: special cases like death or disablement (where the five-year minimum service requirement does not apply), any contractual or company-specific terms that exceed the statutory minimum, or the tax treatment of the payout. Always check the current text of the Payment of Gratuity Act and your own employment contract before relying on this for a real settlement.
