  • The worker ought to have retired.
  • The employee must have left their position after five years with the same company.
  • The employee must have passed away or become disabled as a result of an illness or accident.

Gratuity Calculation – What is the formula for calculating the Gratuity?

The gratuity rules and calculations are prescribed by the Payment of Gratuity Act of 1972.

There are mainly two categories, as given below.

  • Category 1: Employees covered under the Act
  • Category 2: Employees not covered under the Act

Category 1: Employees covered under the Act

Using the two critical parameters – number of years of service and last salary drawn, you can calculate the gratuity as follows:

The Gratuity calculation formula that you can use to calculate the Gratuity amount is:

Gratuity = Last drawn salary x (15/26) x Number of years of service

Here:

  • The number of working days per month is taken as 26 days.
  • The gratuity calculation is accounted at the rate of 15 days wages.

The last drawn salary should be calculated to account for the following components:

  • Basic
  • Dearness Allowance – for government employees
  • The commission received on sales

Example: If you had been drawing Rs. 80,000 as your last basic salary with 10 years four months of employment tenure, then the gratuity amount you will receive as per the formula is:

Gratuity = Rs. 80,000 x (15/26) x 10 = Rs. 4.62 lakh

The four months are below 5, so it is rounded off to 10. Months more than five are rounded off to the following year.

Category 2: Employees not covered under the Act

You can be paid a gratuity even if the organisation is not covered under the Act. If that is the case, the number of working days in a month changes to 30 days instead of 26 days.

Gratuity = Last drawn salary x (15/30) x Number of years of service

In the above example, if your organisation is not covered under the Act, then the calculation will be as follows:

Gratuity = Rs. 80,000 x (15/30) x 10 = Rs. 4.00 lakh

For employees covered under the Act, the benefit of a lower denomination is given. Hence, working days in a month are taken as 26 days instead of 30 days.
