Gratuity Rules 2025: Know how much gratuity you will get after 5, 7 and 10 years of service!

Gratuity is the amount paid to employees in recognition of their continuous service, honouring their hard work and contributions. Gratuity is one component that the government has placed on par with pension and provident fund (PF).

The Gratuity Act applies to factories, mines, oil fields, plantations, ports, railways, motor transport undertakings, companies, and shops or establishments employing 10 or more workers. It mandates gratuity payment at 15 days’ wages for each completed year of service, up to a maximum of Rs 10 lakh for non-government employees. For seasonal establishments, gratuity is calculated at seven days’ wages per season.

For central government employees, the gratuity ceiling was enhanced to Rs 25 lakh last year considering the Dearness Allowance (DA) touching 50% of their basic salary.

The Gratuity Act ensures employees retain the right to better gratuity terms under any agreement or contract. For establishments under the central government’s control or those operating across multiple states, the Centre acts as the regulatory authority.

Let’s understand the rules of gratuity, the method of its calculation, and how it benefits employees.

Formula for calculating gratuity:

A simple formula for gratuity calculation is:

(Last salary) x (years of service) x (15/26)

Final salary: It includes basic salary, dearness allowance (DA), and commission.

Working days: 26 working days are considered in a month.

15-day average: The calculation is done on the basis of 15 days’ salary.

Example: Determining gratuity amount (Assuming final salary of Rs 30,000)

On 5 years of service

Last Salary: Rs 30,000

Calculation: Rs 30,000 x 5 x (15/26)

Total Gratuity Amount: Rs 86,538.46

On 7 years of service:

Last salary: Rs 30,000

Calculation: Rs 30,000 x 7 x (15/26)

Total Gratuity Amount: Rs 1,21,153.84

On 10 years of service:

Last salary: Rs 30,000

Calculation: Rs 30,000 x 10 x (15/26)

Total Gratuity Amount: Rs 1,73,076.92
