What GratuityCalc does
GratuityCalc helps employees estimate gratuity and end-of-service benefits using published labour law formulas, country-specific rules, and calculator logic reviewed against real payout scenarios.
The Story Behind GratuityCalc
It started with a simple question: "How much end-of-service gratuity am I actually owed?"
While transitioning between jobs, I realized how difficult it was to find a clear and accurate answer. Official portals were often hard to navigate, while many third-party calculators were outdated or vague about the rules they were applying.
I ended up reading labour-law documents, government guidance, and payout rules just to verify the math on my own settlement. If that was frustrating for someone with a technical background, it was clearly a bigger problem for employees trying to understand their rights quickly.
That is why GratuityCalc was built. The goal was to create an independent reference point that helps employees understand the likely formula, the legal basis behind it, and the assumptions used in the calculator.
Why People Trust GratuityCalc
GratuityCalc is designed to be more than a generic calculator. We try to show the formula, explain the salary base, and clarify the rule that changes the payout.
In practical terms, that means someone searching for MOHRE gratuity calculator or 15/26 gratuity formulashould be able to understand both the number and the reasoning behind it.
Our Editorial and Development Process
We do not guess formulas or copy unchecked summaries from other blogs. Building a gratuity calculator requires a repeatable editorial and product process.
Primary Source Research
We build around primary legal and government sources first. For the UAE, that includes MOHRE guidance and federal labour law. For India, that includes the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and related updates affecting salary base, eligibility, and payout interpretation.
Granular Testing
Labour law calculations include edge cases such as final-year rounding, resignation scenarios, and India's 26-day divisor rule. We test calculator logic against these cases so the result is not just fast, but explainable.
Plain-English Explanations
Key pages are written to answer the question directly, define the formula in simple language, and explain the common confusion around topics like the UAE basic salary rule or India's 4.81 percent gratuity provision in CTC.
Ongoing Review
We revisit important pages when rules, thresholds, or public guidance change. The goal is not to publish the most pages. It is to keep the most important payout pages current enough to stay useful.
Who We Are
Rahul Sharma
Founder and Lead Researcher
I am an independent software developer and labour-policy researcher focused on gratuity, end-of-service benefits, and employee-friendly legal explainers.
After working between India and the UAE, I saw how hard it was to estimate final settlements from fragmented official guidance. GratuityCalc was built to make those rules easier to understand and easier to check.
GratuityCalc is maintained by a small independent team. We are not a law firm, government office, or payroll SaaS platform. We publish educational tools and guides that help people understand gratuity rules faster, with clearer examples and less jargon.
What Makes the Brand Different
- We focus narrowly on gratuity and end-of-service calculations instead of trying to cover every HR topic at a shallow level.
- We explain the formula and the legal reasoning together, because most employees need both.
- We keep privacy central by avoiding unnecessary collection of salary and contract details.
- We write for employees, expats, and job-switchers who need clarity before accepting a settlement figure.
Our Core Principles
- 100% Privacy-FirstYour salary and contract details stay in your browser. We do not need a personal salary database to run the calculator.
- Always FreeAccessing basic labour-rights information should not require a subscription. Our tools are free to use and supported responsibly by ads.
