Gratuity Calculator
Estimate gratuity from monthly basic salary, dearness allowance and completed years of service using the commonly used 15/26 mathematical approach. Eligibility and statutory conditions must be checked separately.

What is the Gratuity Calculator?
Gratuity is governed by employment and statutory rules, so the mathematical result alone does not establish eligibility. Verify the applicable law and your employer's records.
How the calculation works
The simplified formula used here is gratuity = (last drawn basic salary + DA) × 15 ÷ 26 × completed years of service. Actual eligibility, rounding and statutory limits can affect the payable amount.
Worked example
If basic salary is ₹50,000, DA is ₹5,000 and completed service is 10 years, the illustrative calculation uses ₹55,000 as the wage base and multiplies it by 15/26 and 10 years.
