India Gratuity Calculator FAQs

What is the gratuity formula?
Gratuity = last drawn salary × 15 × years of service ÷ 26. The 15 stands for 15 days of pay for every year you worked, and 26 is the number of working days in a month. If your employer is not covered by the Act, 30 days is used instead of 26.
How many years do I need to work to get gratuity?
Five continuous years with the same employer for permanent staff. Under the new labour codes, which came into force on 21 November 2025, fixed-term employees qualify after one year. There is no minimum when the employee dies or becomes disabled.
How are months counted?
If you have worked more than 6 months beyond a full year, that year is rounded up. Exactly 6 months or less is ignored. For example, 7 years and 7 months is counted as 8 years, but 7 years and 5 months stays 7.
Is there a limit on gratuity?
The maximum gratuity payable under the Act is ₹20 lakh, and the tax-free limit is also ₹20 lakh. Anything above that can be taxable, and the rules for employers outside the Act differ slightly, so check with your HR or tax advisor.
