Gratuity Calculation
To calculate the gratuity amount, the following formula is applied:
Gratuity Amount = (Last Basic Salary / 30) * 21 * Number of Years
Explanation:
- “Last Basic Salary” refers to the last monthly basic salary received by the employee.
- The division by 30 is done to convert the monthly basic salary into a daily salary rate.
- The multiplication by 21 represents the three-week remuneration.
- “Number of Years” represents the number of completed years of service.
- The final result is the gratuity amount that the employee is eligible to receive.
