How Does a Gratuity Calculator Work?
Gratuity is a financial reward provided by an employer to an employee in appreciation of their past service. In India, it is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. This calculator quickly determines your eligible payout when leaving an organization.
The 5-Year Rule
To be eligible for gratuity, an employee must have completed at least 5 years of continuous service with the same employer. (There are exceptions to this rule in the case of death or disablement of the employee).
Rounding Off Years
If you are covered under the Gratuity Act, any service exceeding 6 months is rounded off to the next full year. For example, if you have worked for 5 years and 7 months, your tenure for calculation is considered as 6 years. If you are not covered, only completed years are counted.
