How is end-of-service gratuity worked out?

[Direct 1–2 sentence answer from MOHRE guidance]

This calculator uses these rules, and the page must show the same ones you verified:

  • Wage per day = monthly basic wage ÷ 30.
  • First 5 years: 21 days of wage for each year.
  • After 5 years: 30 days for each extra year.
  • Part years count in proportion. Unpaid leave days are not counted.
  • Under 1 year of service: nothing is shown.
  • The total is capped at 24 months of basic wage.

The maths is exact for these rules. Whether the rules are current is what you must verify.
