What is a Gratuity Calculator?

A Gratuity Calculator is a financial tool that helps employees estimate the amount of gratuity they are entitled to receive upon leaving their job after completing a minimum of five years of continuous service. Gratuity is a lump-sum payment made by employers as a token of appreciation for the employee's long-term service. The calculator takes into account key factors such as the employee's last drawn salary, the number of years worked, and whether the employer falls under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. By inputting these details, the Gratuity Calculator quickly provides an estimate, allowing employees to plan their finances better and understand the benefits they can expect upon retirement or resignation.

Employees with longer tenure and higher basic salaries are eligible for higher gratuity amounts. The gratuity is calculated based on the employee's last working day. A Gratuity Calculator works through the following steps:

  • Input Last Drawn Salary: Enter the employee's last drawn basic salary plus dearness allowance.
  • Enter Years of Service: Input the total number of years the employee has worked with the employer.
  • Specify Employer Type: Indicate whether the employer is covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act.

How is retirement gratuity calculated?

Retirement gratuity calculation in India depends on whether the employer is covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Generally, it's calculated based on your last drawn basic salary plus dearness allowance, multiplied by 15/26 (for covered employers) or 15/30 (for non-covered employers), and then by your years of service. A minimum of 5 years of continuous service is usually required.

In India, it's governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, and usually requires a minimum of five years of continuous service. It's a significant retirement or exit benefit.
