What is a gratuity calculator?
A gratuity calculator estimates the gratuity amount payable under a standard Indian gratuity formula using last-drawn salary and completed years of service.
Gratuity calculator
Estimate gratuity in India using last-drawn monthly basic salary plus DA, total years of service, and additional months completed.
This estimate uses the common gratuity formula of 15/26 multiplied by last-drawn monthly basic plus DA and the counted years of service, where 6 or more extra months are treated as a full year.
Why use this gratuity calculator
This calculator is useful for salaried employees in India who want a quick estimate of gratuity based on last-drawn monthly basic salary plus DA and completed service length.
It also helps when comparing gratuity with other retirement-related assets such as EPF, NPS, and personal savings.
How to use the result
Focus on the estimated gratuity amount, counted years of service, and eligibility status together. That gives a clearer view of whether gratuity is likely to be a small add-on or a meaningful retirement component.
It is also useful to treat the result as a planning estimate and confirm actual eligibility and payout rules with your employer or HR policy when needed.
Frequently asked questions
Why do additional months matter in gratuity calculation?
In many practical gratuity calculations, 6 or more additional months may be treated as an extra completed year for estimation purposes.
What if my service is below 5 years?
Under the standard rule used for this calculator, gratuity eligibility is shown as below the usual 5-year threshold if counted service does not reach 5 years.
