Gratuity Calculator

Enter your last drawn basic plus DA and your years of service.

Your details

Basic salary plus dearness allowance only, not the full CTC.
6 or more rounds up to a full year.
Gratuity payable₹1,73,077For 10 years of service.

Working

  • 15 days of basic + DA₹17,308
  • Years counted10
  • Formula amount₹1,73,077
  • Cap under the Act₹20,00,000
  • Payable₹1,73,077

Formula: 15 × last drawn basic + DA × years ÷ 26, under the Payment of Gratuity Act. Employers not covered by the Act use 15 ÷ 30 instead, and the 20,00,000 cap does not apply to them. Up to 20 lakh is tax-free; we check the exemption when filing.

How it is calculated

  1. Gratuity = 15 × last drawn basic plus DA × years of service ÷ 26.
  2. You must have completed 5 years with the employer (relaxed on death or disablement).
  3. A part year of 6 months or more counts as a full year; less than 6 months is ignored.
  4. The amount is capped at 20 lakh under the Act. Employers can pay more by their own policy, and the tax exemption has its own limit.

Indicative only. Rules change every year; we confirm before filing.
