Gratuity is one of the most important financial benefits for employees in India. If you have worked for over 5 years, you are eligible to receive gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
Let’s calculate how much gratuity you will receive after 10.7 years of service with a salary between ₹40,000 and ₹60,000.
Gratuity Formula
Gratuity=26Last Salary×15×Years of Service
Where:
- Last Salary = Basic + DA
- 15 = 15 days salary per year
- 26 = Working days in a month
Important Rule
- Service of 10.7 years will be rounded to 11 years
(If service is more than 6 months, it is counted as a full year)
Gratuity Calculation
If Salary = ₹40,000
Gratuity=2640,000×15×11
Gratuity ≈ ₹2,53,846
If Salary = ₹60,000
Gratuity=2660,000×15×11
Gratuity ≈ ₹3,80,769
Final Gratuity Amount
| Salary | Years (Rounded) | Gratuity |
|---|---|---|
| ₹40,000 | 11 years | ₹2.53 lakh |
| ₹60,000 | 11 years | ₹3.80 lakh |
Who Is Eligible?
You are eligible for gratuity if:
- You have completed 5+ years of service
- You are working in a company with 10+ employees
- You leave due to resignation, retirement, or termination
Key Benefits

Final Thoughts
If you are earning between ₹40,000 and ₹60,000, your gratuity after 10.7 years can range between ₹2.5 lakh to ₹3.8 lakh—a significant financial benefit.
Planning your career long-term can help you maximize this amount.
