What is gratuity?

Gratuity is a lump sum benefit paid by an employer to an employee for long and continuous service, subject to applicable rules and conditions.

Why estimate gratuity early?

An early estimate can help you factor expected benefits into job decisions, retirement planning, or total compensation analysis.

Why do extra months matter?

Additional months may change the eligible service count because gratuity rules often treat 6 or more extra months differently.
