Understanding Gratuity and How to Calculate Your Retirement Benefit
Gratuity is a lump-sum payment given by employers to employees as a reward for long service, typically upon resignation, retirement, or death. In India, it is governed by the Code on Social Security, 2020. Eligibility generally requires five years of continuous service with an employer having at least ten employees, with exceptions for death or disability. A gratuity calculator estimates the amount based on a formula involving last drawn wages and years of service, helping employees plan their retirement benefits accurately.
