Where the number comes from
Your settlement will appear here
Start with your monthly basic and how long you worked. Nothing you type leaves this phone.
Under 1 completed year: the Act gives no service benefit for this exit.
Open point: the wording of s.27(4) allows two readings: whether exactly 3 years falls in the 7-day or the 15-day step, and whether one rate covers every year. We put exactly 3 years at 7 days and apply one rate to all years.
Tax: benefit, notice pay and leave encashment are taxable as salary. Gratuity from an NBR-approved fund is tax free up to 2.5 crore.
Open point: the Act does not fix the divisor for a day's wage. 30 is common practice; some use 26.

Tips that change the number
- Mind the 3-year stepResign at 3 years and you get 7 days a year. A month later it is 15 days a year.
- Benefits run on basic payA low basic means a low settlement, however big the gross is.
- Ask if the gratuity fund is approvedFrom an NBR-approved fund it is tax free. Paid from company cash it is taxed.
- 30 working daysAll dues must be paid within 30 working days of your last day.
