Gratuity Calculator is now live on Tools.Town — a tool that computes the gratuity amount payable under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, based on your last drawn salary and years of service.

Whether you’re planning a job change, negotiating a settlement, or simply want to know what you’re entitled to, Gratuity Calculator gives you the legally correct figure in seconds.

What Does It Do?

Gratuity Amount

Calculates the exact gratuity using the statutory formula: (Last salary × 15/26) × Years of service.

Eligibility Check

Confirms whether you meet the 5-year minimum service requirement under the Gratuity Act.

Tax Breakdown

Shows tax-exempt vs taxable portion — the ₹20 lakh exemption limit is applied automatically.

“Last drawn salary” for gratuity purposes means basic salary + dearness allowance only — not HRA, bonuses, or other components.

How It Works

Enter salary

Enter your last drawn monthly basic salary (and DA, if applicable).

Enter service

Enter total years and months of continuous service with your employer.

Get the amount

The gratuity amount, eligibility status, and tax treatment are shown instantly.

Why We Built It

Gratuity is a statutory entitlement that most employees don’t know how to calculate precisely. The formula involves a 15/26 factor (not 15/30) and uses only basic + DA — not CTC. Getting this wrong leads to either underclaiming or incorrect expectations. Gratuity Calculator applies the correct formula so you know your exact entitlement.
