How is gratuity calculated in India?
Gratuity in India is calculated based on the Payment of Gratuity Act, using the formula: for employees covered by the Act, it is Last salary × 15 × years ÷ 26, and for those not covered, it is Last salary × 15 × completed years ÷ 30. This calculation provides the gratuity amount an employee is entitled to based on their last drawn salary and years of service.
What is the gratuity formula with an example?
The gratuity formula for employees covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act is Last salary × 15 × years ÷ 26. For example, if your last drawn salary is ₹50,000 and you have served for 10 years, your gratuity would be calculated as ₹50,000 × 15 × 10 ÷ 26. This formula helps in determining the gratuity amount, ensuring transparency and accuracy in the calculation process.
Is there a gratuity calculator available online for India?

These calculators, like the one on news.appite.in, work entirely in your browser, ensuring data privacy and security, and provide accurate calculations based on the Act's provisions.
How does the gratuity formula apply to months of service?

This means that if you have, for example, 10 years and 7 months of service, it would be counted as 11 years for the purpose of gratuity calculation, using the appropriate formula based on whether your employer is covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act or not.
