FAQ

Questions about the Gratuity Calculator

What is the gratuity formula for private employees?

For employers covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act it is 15 x last monthly basic plus DA x years of service / 26. The 26 stands for working days in a month.

How many years of service do I need to get gratuity?

Usually five years of continuous service. Under the Act, a final part year of more than six months is generally rounded up to a full year, so enter years accordingly.

How much gratuity is tax-free?

Up to Rs 20 lakh in a lifetime for covered private employees. The calculator shows any amount above that cap, which would be taxable.

Is the Gratuity Calculator free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so what you type is not uploaded. You only sign in if you want to email a result to yourself or save it to your CareerByteCode profile.
