The Gratuity Calculator on your website helps users calculate the Gratuity Amount based on their Basic Salary, Dearness Allowance, and Duration of Service. Gratuity is a financial benefit paid by an employer to an employee for their services rendered over a period of time. It is commonly calculated as a part of retirement benefits, especially in certain countries like India, and follows specific formulas depending on the applicable laws and policies.

   - This is the basic salary of the employee per year. The basic salary is the fixed amount paid to an employee, excluding any bonuses, allowances, or incentives.

   

   - Dearness Allowance is a component of the salary provided to employees to offset the impact of inflation. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the basic salary and is included in the calculation of the gratuity.

   

   - This is the total duration of service in years that the employee has completed with the employer. It is an important factor because gratuity is typically based on the number of years an employee has worked.

- Gratuity Amount:

   - The calculator provides the gratuity amount that the employee is entitled to receive based on the inputs. This is typically expressed in terms of currency (e.g., INR, USD, etc.).

The calculation of gratuity can differ based on the local regulations and company policies. A common formula used for calculating gratuity is:

- Basic Salary is the employee’s basic salary per month.

- Dearness Allowance (DA) is added to the basic salary.

- 26 refers to the number of days in a month used for calculating the average daily wages in some cases.

- 15 is the number of days’ salary paid per year of service (as per some regulations).

- Duration of Service is the total number of years the employee has worked.

Let’s say the inputs are:

- Basic Salary per Year = 600,000

- Dearness Allowance = 60,000

- Duration of Service = 10 years.

- Monthly Basic Salary = 600,000 / 12 = 50,000

- Monthly DA = 60,000 / 12 = 5,000.

Gratuity = ((50,000 + 5,000)/26) * 15 * 10

Gratuity = (55,000/26) * 15 * 10

Gratuity = 2,115.38 * 15 * 10 = 317,307.69

Thus, the Gratuity Amount would be 317,307.69.
