Code on Social Security, 2020 (w.e.f. 21.11.2025) · Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972

Gratuity Calculator

Standard gratuity requires 5 years of continuous service for regular employees. Fixed-Term Employees are entitled to pro-rata gratuity without that 5-year requirement, and death/disablement always bypasses it — capped at the statutory ceiling of ₹20,00,000.

Total Monthly Remuneration / CTC, ₹ (for the 50% wage-floor check)

For exits on/after 21.11.2025, if Basic+DA is less than 50% of total remuneration, the excess allowance is added back to wages for gratuity under the Code on Social Security, 2020 — raising the wage base used below. Leave blank if Basic+DA already covers 50%+ of pay.

Basis: Standard formula applies 15 days' wages (Basic + DA) for every completed year of service, computed as (15 × Salary × Years) ÷ 26, under Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (now Section 53, Code on Social Security, 2020, in force w.e.f. 21.11.2025). A part-year counts as a full additional year only where it is in excess of six months — exactly six months does not round up. Eligibility is tested on actual unrounded service, so the rounded figure used in the formula is shown separately. Regular employees must complete 5 years of continuous service to be eligible (waived for death/disablement). Fixed-Term Employees are eligible for pro-rata gratuity on completion of their contract term regardless of the 5-year requirement, under the amended provisions of the Code on Social Security. For death or disablement in service, the nominee/employee is entitled to the higher of the standard formula or the slab minimum (2× monthly wages for under 1 year; 6× for 1–5 years; 12× for 5–11 years; 20× for 11–20 years; half month's wages per completed 6-month period beyond, capped at 33×).
