Gratuity Calculation Test

Gratuity is calculated using the formula: (Last Drawn Salary × 1/4× Number of Years of Service in Half Years) for employers covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act, where ‘Last Drawn Salary’ includes basic pay plus Dearness Allowance, and ‘Number of Years’ is rounded up if service exceeds 6 months in the final year. For employers not covered, the formula is similar but uses 30 working days instead of 26: (Last Drawn Salary × 15/30 × Number of Years of Service).

Example: Straightforward calculation

Employee’s details:

  • Last emoluments = ₹60,000 per month

  • Qualifying service = 30 years 7 months

Step 1: Convert service into six-monthly periods

For 30 complete years:

30 × 2 = 60 six-monthly periods

Remaining service = 7 months

Since 7 months contains another completed six-monthly period:

60 + 1 = 61 periods

So: Six-monthly periods = 61

Step 2: Calculate 1/4 of emoluments

₹60,000 ÷ 4= ₹15,000

Step 3: Multiply by six-monthly periods

₹15,000 × 61= ₹9,15,000

Therefore, the calculated retirement gratuity = ₹9,15,000, before applying the other prescribed limits.

Step 4: Check the 16½-month limit

₹60,000 × 16.5= ₹9,90,000

Compare:

  • Formula amount=₹9,15,000

  • 16½ months’ emoluments = ₹9,90,000

So the formula amount is lower.

Result: ₹9,15,000, subject to the applicable statutory monetary ceiling.
