How we worked it out

Updated as you change the numbers.

  1. Years counted: 8 (a part year over six months counts as a full year).
  2. Gratuity = ₹50,000.00 ÷ 26 × 15 × 8 = ₹2,30,769.23.

Method and assumptions

Section 53 of the Code on Social Security, 2020: 15 days’ wages for every completed year of service or part of a year over six months, a day’s wage being the monthly wage ÷ 26. Five years of continuous service are needed, except on death, disablement or the end of a fixed-term contract, where gratuity is paid in proportion. The maximum is ₹20 lakh, as notified.
