Breakdown
When leaving an employer, your total settlement includes three separate legal entitlements governed by distinct statutes: gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, EPF accumulation under the EPF Act 1952, and leave encashment under your employment contract. Each has a different formula, different exemption limits, and different tax treatment. This calculator computes all three simultaneously so you have a clear picture of your total exit package before you resign.
Gratuity is calculated using the statutory formula: (15 × last drawn Basic + DA × years of service) / 26. The 26-day divisor reflects the average working days in a month under the Act. Service is rounded up if more than 6 months have been completed in the final year. The maximum exempt amount is Rs 25 lakh as per the 2024 amendment.
PF accumulation is modelled using the current EPF interest rate of 8.15% per annum compounded annually on the employee and employer contributions (12% each of basic), minus the EPS portion (8.33% of basic routed to Employees Pension Scheme). Year-wise balance is shown in the results table.
Leave encashment exemption follows the four-pronged minimum test under Section 10(10AA): actual amount, 10 months' average salary, 30 days per year of service, or Rs 25 lakh — whichever is lowest. The excess is shown as taxable in the summary.
A 12-year employee at a private IT firm resigning to join a startup, wanting to know total gratuity + PF before negotiating the joining date.
A mid-career professional comparing two job offers where one includes PF and gratuity and the other does not.
An HR manager calculating F&F settlement for a departing employee and verifying the gratuity amount before raising the final settlement letter.
An employee who completed exactly 4 years 8 months checking if rounding rules make them eligible for gratuity (they are — 6+ months rounds up to 5 years).
Scope note: Uses the 26-day divisor for private sector gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. Government employees and those in establishments not covered by the Act may use different formulas. EPF accumulation uses the FY 2024-25 rate of 8.15% and assumes consistent contributions throughout service. Actual PF balance may differ due to gaps in employment or employer-specific PF trust rates.
