Gratuity Calculator

Estimate the gratuity you may receive when you leave a job, using the Payment of Gratuity Act formula.

How it works

Gratuity = Last drawn monthly (basic + DA) × 15 × years of service ÷ 26 for employers covered by the Act (÷ 30 otherwise). Service of 6 months or more in the final year is counted as a full year.

Worked example

Monthly basic + DA of 50,000 and 8 years 4 months of service (counted as 8 years): 50,000 × 15 × 8 ÷ 26 = 2,30,769.
