Planning to retire or resign? Don’t leave your hard-earned gratuity to guesswork.

With the right tool, you can figure out your retirement benefit in seconds—no math, no confusion.

Let’s walk you through the fastest way to calculate your gratuity online—and understand everything that affects your final number.

Quick Steps to Calculate Gratuity Online

Before you start crunching numbers manually or second-guessing HR's estimate, make your life easier by using a reliable tool like the HR HUB Gratuity Calculator. It’s free, intuitive, rule-compliant, and lightning-fast—making it the perfect choice for professionals who want clarity, not confusion.

Quick Steps to Calculate Gratuity Online

Whether you’re on a desktop or mobile, the tool is designed to work seamlessly and give you accurate results based on the official gratuity formula.

Here’s how to use it:

Step 1: Enter Your Monthly Salary (Basic + DA Only)

Not your full CTC. Just the basics—your Basic Pay and Dearness Allowance. That’s all gratuity cares about.

Example: ₹60,000 (If you're not sure, grab your latest payslip—it’ll be right there.)

Step 2: Enter Your Years of Service

This doesn’t have to be an exact science. The calculator knows how rounding works (and yes, those extra 6 months do count).

Example: 20 years

Step 3: Instantly View Your Gratuity Amount

Hit calculate, and watch the number appear—backed by the exact formula used in real payroll systems. No math required.

Real Example Using HR HUB’s Gratuity Calculator

  • Monthly Salary: ₹60,000
  • Years of Service: 20
  • Total Gratuity Payable: ₹6,92,308

What makes this tool stand out is its simple, slider-based interface, which allows you to visualize how your gratuity increases over time. Adjust your salary or service years, and instantly see the revised amount—it’s ideal for career planning, retirement planning, and even financial negotiations.

What Is Gratuity, Really?

It’s more than a cheque. It’s a thank-you letter in numbers. A financial farewell. A reflection of your loyalty.

Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, gratuity becomes payable when you’ve completed at least five years of continuous service with the same employer. Whether you’re retiring, resigning, or stepping away due to unforeseen circumstances, gratuity is your legal right.

And no—it doesn’t only apply to government employees. Private sector workers are eligible too.

What Is Gratuity, Really?

Who’s Eligible to Receive Gratuity?

You are eligible to receive gratuity if:

  • You’ve completed 5+ years of continuous service with the same employer.
  • You're retiring, resigning, or being laid off.
  • In case of death or disability, the 5-year rule is waived.

Even if you’re changing careers, knowing your gratuity amount helps you plan your financial runway better.
