3.2 Calculate Gratuity Amount Based On:

Let's consider the following example to understand the calculation.

1. Current slab: If Gratuity Amount calculation is based on Current Slab, then amount will be the product of Work Experience (in years), Fraction of Applicable Earnings and summation of the Applicable Earnings Components. Based on above Gratuity Rules/slab, if an employee has an experience of 5 years, then it falls in third slab. The calculation of Gratuity Amount will be as follows:

Gratuity amount = 5 0.467 (Arrear + Basic)

2. Sum of all previous slabs: If Gratuity Amount calculation is based on Sum of all previous slabs, then amount will be the summation of product of individual slabs up to the year of experience and summation of Applicable Earnings Component. Based on above Gratuity Rules/slab, if an employee has an experience of 5 years, then the calculation of Gratuity Amount will be as follows:

Gratuity amount = [(1 0) + (2 0.233) + (2 0.467)](Arrear + Basic)
