Editorial note. SalaryExit publishes educational estimates with stated assumptions — not tax filing advice, legal opinions, or employer-certified payroll. Read the methodology and disclaimer. FY 2025–26 (AY 2026–27) tax slabs in engine. Site content last reviewed: March 2026. Calculator tax math was last aligned to Union Budget 2025 — new regime slabs & Section 87A (≤₹12L taxable); cess 4%. Surcharge and marginal relief are not modeled — validate Form 16 and CBDT circulars for filing.

A straightforward overview of gratuity intent, common formula intuition, eligibility context, and tax caveats.
