Gratuity Calculator

Gratuity Calculator — Apna Hisaab Karo

15 saal ki naukri. Har mahine office aao, kaam karo, company ke liye apna best do. Aur phir ek din retirement ya better opportunity ke liye resign karo — toh company bolti hai: "Gratuity milegi aapko."

Lekin question ye hai — kitni milegi?

Bahut saare employees ko pata hi nahi hota ki unka gratuity kitna banta hai. Kuch log HR pe depend karte hain. Kuch log roughly estimate karte hain. Aur kuch log toh resignation ke time hi pehli baar sochte hain ki "arre, gratuity bhi hoti hai kya?"

Bhai, ye serious money hai.

Ek example lo — Rahul ne 12 saal ek private company mein kaam kiya. Last basic salary thi ₹55,000. Uska gratuity banta hai ₹3,80,769. Nearly ₹4 lakh — sirf tenure complete karne ki wajah se. Aur ye paisa fully tax-exempt hai ₹20 lakh limit tak.

Lekin agar Rahul ko calculation hi nahi pata, toh wo kaise verify karega ki HR ne sahi amount diya ya nahi? Isiliye faydemand.in ka Gratuity Calculator banaya gaya hai.

Bas apni last drawn basic salary aur years of service daalo — calculator turant batayega:

• Exact gratuity amount (Act formula se)
• Rounding rule automatically applied (6 months wala rule)
• Tax-exempt portion vs taxable portion
• Cap utilisation — kitna ₹20L limit se door ho

Gratuity ek employee ka earned right hai — koi favor nahi. Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 ek legal protection deta hai har us employee ko jo 5 saal se zyada ek company mein kaam kare. Aur ye Act 10 ya zyada employees wali har company pe applicable hota hai.

Gratuity Kya Hoti Hai?

Gratuity ek lump sum payment hai jo employer apne employee ko deta hai — ek tarah ka "thank you" for long service.

Legally bola jaaye toh ye Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 ke under ek statutory benefit hai. Jab bhi koi employee retire kare, resign kare (minimum 5 saal baad), company se terminate ho, permanently disabled ho jaaye, ya death ho jaaye — toh employer ko gratuity deni hi padti hai.

Gratuity Calculator ek online tool hai jo aapko instantly calculate kar ke bata deta hai ki aapka exact gratuity amount kitna banta hai — manual calculation aur confusion ke bina.

Gratuity Kise Milti Hai?

Covered Employees (Act ke under): Wo employees jo kisi bhi factory, mine, oilfield, plantation, port, railway, shop, ya establishment mein kaam karte hain jahan 10 ya zyada employees hain (ya kabhi bhi 10 the), aur minimum 5 saal continuous service complete ki ho.

Special Cases — 5 Saal Se Pehle Bhi Milti Hai: Employee ki death, permanent disability, retrenchment ya company closure.

Gratuity Kise Nahi Milti (Normal Cases): 5 saal se kam service pe resign karne wale (death/disability exception ke bina), aur jo employees misconduct pe terminate hue.

Gratuity vs Other Benefits

Gratuity sabse unique hai kyunki ye pure tenure-based hai — performance se nahi, position se nahi, sirf loyalty se. Har extra saal tumhara gratuity badhta jaata hai.

How the Gratuity Calculator Works

The faydemand.in Gratuity Calculator applies the statutory Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 formula to your inputs. The calculation engine automatically determines the appropriate formula based on your coverage type and applies the rounding rule for partial years.

Input Parameters

1. Last Drawn Basic Salary + DA: Your final basic salary plus dearness allowance at the time of leaving. HRA, special allowance, travel allowance, and medical reimbursement are NOT included. Check your salary slip — look for the "Basic" and "DA" lines specifically.

2. Years of Service: Total completed years with the same employer. Enter whole years in the first field and additional months in the month selector.

3. Additional Months: Months served in your final (partial) year. The calculator automatically applies the rounding rule — 7+ months rounds up to the next full year.

4. Employee Category: Whether your organization is covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act. Covered (10+ employees) = ÷26 formula. Non-covered = ÷30 formula.

Calculation Process

Step 1 — Rounding: If your additional months exceed 6, the calculator rounds up your years of service by 1. Example: 12 years 8 months → 13 effective years. 12 years 4 months → 12 effective years.

Step 2 — Compute Gross Gratuity: (Basic+DA) × 15 × Effective Years ÷ Divisor (26 or 30)

Step 3 — Apply ₹20L Cap: If the calculated amount exceeds ₹20,00,000, the payable gratuity is capped at ₹20 lakh. Companies may voluntarily pay more as ex-gratia, but statutory obligation is limited to ₹20 lakh.

Step 4 — Tax Exemption: For private sector employees, the entire gratuity up to ₹20 lakh is tax-exempt under Section 10(10) of the Income Tax Act. The calculator shows the tax-exempt vs taxable split.
