Are gratuity and severance pay the same thing? +
Not necessarily. Both describe payments associated with the end of employment, but their legal basis, eligibility conditions, salary definitions, and calculation rules can differ. This calculator places country-specific end-of-service calculations in one tool; that does not make the underlying entitlements interchangeable. Use the option that matches the law or contractual arrangement governing the employment.
Is the calculated result the amount my employer must pay? +
No. It is an estimate based on the selected rule and the figures entered. The final amount may differ because of statutory amendments, contractual enhancements, employee classification, excluded service, payment caps, or disputed salary components. Confirm the calculation against current official guidance, the employment contract, payroll records, and qualified advice when the result will be used for a settlement.
