How each one works

The rules behind the numbers.

Short, plain-English explanations of the formulas — and the edge cases most calculators quietly ignore.

Gratuity

The 15/26 rule

Gratuity rewards long service. You qualify after 5 years of continuous service with one employer — waived if you die or are disabled.

(Basic + DA) × 15 ÷ 26 × years
  • Service beyond 6 months rounds up to a full year
  • Tax-free up to ₹20 lakh (a lifetime cap, not per-job)
  • Government cap is ₹25 lakh; private stayed at ₹20 lakh
  • Fixed-term staff now qualify after just 1 year
EPF

Two matching 12%s

You put in 12% of Basic+DA; your employer matches it. It compounds monthly and the rate for FY 2025-26 is 8.25%, credited by EPFO.

24% of Basic+DA, compounded monthly
  • Fully tax-free (EEE) after 5 years of service
  • Part of the employer share goes to EPS pension
  • Withdraw early and the tax benefit can reverse
  • Transfers with you when you change jobs via UAN
NPS

Market-linked pension

NPS invests across equity and debt for a market-linked return. At 60, part becomes a tax-free lump sum and the rest buys a pension.

SIP growth → 60% lump + 40% annuity
  • Extra ₹50,000 deduction under Section 80CCD(1B)
  • Minimum 40% of corpus must buy an annuity
  • The 60% lump sum is tax-free on withdrawal
  • Annuity income is taxed as regular income
Common questions

Answers to what people actually ask.

Is my gratuity taxable?

For private-sector employees covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act, gratuity is tax-free up to ₹20 lakh — and this is a lifetime limit across all your employers, not per job. Government employees get full exemption with no cap. Anything above your remaining exempt limit is taxed as salary income at your slab rate.

Can I get gratuity before completing 5 years?

Generally no — resignation needs 5 years of continuous service. The exceptions are death or disablement, where it's paid regardless of length of service. Courts have also accepted 4 years plus 240 working days in the fifth year as meeting the requirement. Fixed-term contract staff now qualify after just 1 year under the Code on Social Security.

What is the EPF interest rate right now?

The rate for FY 2025-26 is 8.25%, the same as the previous two years. It was notified by EPFO and is being credited to members' accounts. Interest is calculated on your monthly running balance but credited once a year.

How much of my NPS can I withdraw at 60?

You can take up to 60% of your corpus as a tax-free lump sum. The remaining 40% (minimum) must be used to buy an annuity, which then pays you a regular pension. That pension income is taxed as normal income in the year you receive it.

Are these calculators accurate for my exact case?

They use the official formulas and current rates, so they're a strong estimate. But real payouts depend on details like your precise salary history, employer EPS split, DA components and the annuity rate your NPS provider offers. Treat the results as planning figures and confirm final numbers with your employer or a chartered accountant.
