How it works

Gratuity is a lump sum paid on leaving, calculated from your final salary and length of service. The usual shape is a set number of days’ pay for each completed year, though the exact multiplier varies by country and sometimes by length of service.

The defaults here follow the widespread fifteen-days-per-year rule applied to a twenty-six-day working month. Both figures are editable, so the calculator fits whichever formula your jurisdiction or contract uses.

Gratuity = last salary × (days per year ÷ days per month) × years of service

  • Last salary — usually basic salary plus any fixed allowance, not total CTC
  • Days per year — the entitlement earned for each completed year of service
  • Days per month — the divisor for a working month — 26 under the common statutory formula

Worked example

12 years of service on a final salary of 90,000 a month

Each completed year is worth about 58% of a month’s salary under this formula. Partial years above six months usually round up.

Frequently asked questions

Which salary figure should I use?

Your last drawn basic salary plus any dearness or fixed allowance, not your full CTC. Using CTC will substantially overstate the entitlement.

How are partial years treated?

Most schemes round a final year of more than six months up to a full year and disregard anything less. Enter the rounded figure — the calculator takes the years you give it at face value.

Is gratuity taxable?

It depends on your country, and often on whether the amount falls under a statutory exemption ceiling. Check the local rule; this calculator reports the gross entitlement before any tax treatment.
