Precision Terminal Benefits Engine

Navigating end-of-service entitlements requires absolute precision to ensure compliance with the Department of Labor. Our gratuity calculator nepal is specifically modeled around the labor act 2074 gratuity provisions. It programmatically enforces the statutory requirement that an employer must accrue exactly 8.33% of an employee's Basic Salary for every month worked from day one. For complete labor regulations, see the official Department of Labor website.

A critical feature of this tool is its evaluation of gratuity eligibility nepal. While the fund begins accumulating immediately, actual legal entitlement to withdraw the accumulated corpus generally requires the completion of 5 continuous years of service. If you are enrolled in the ssf gratuity nepal scheme, the logic differs slightly as the funds are locked within the state-run Social Security Fund rather than an internal corporate ledger.

Mathematical Framework & Taxation

  • The 8.33% Constant: The algorithm mathematically defines a year's gratuity as exactly 1 month of your basic salary (since 8.33% × 12 months ≈ 100%). It operates strictly on the Basic component, excluding allowances.
  • Fractional Years: The engine accepts decimal inputs (e.g., 5.5 years) to ensure that mid-year resignations are accurately prorated according to the exact number of months worked.
  • Tax Exemptions: When computing gratuity tax nepal, the system isolates the tax-exempt threshold (typically 50% of the total or up to NPR 5 Lakhs, depending on the fund's approval status with the IRD). Any accumulated value exceeding this threshold is automatically subjected to a flat 15% withholding tax.

How to use

  • Enter your monthly BASIC salary. Do not include travel, food, medical, or other allowances. Check your payslip for the exact 'Basic' breakdown.
  • Enter the total number of years you have worked for the company. You can use decimals (e.g., 5.5 for 5 years and 6 months).
  • The system will immediately verify your eligibility. Note that standard eligibility requires 5 full years of continuous service.
  • Review your 'Total Accumulated Gratuity Fund'. This is the gross amount you are entitled to.
  • Check the 'Benefit Ledger' to understand how much of your payout is tax-exempt versus how much is subject to the 15% IRD tax.

Labor Act Calculation Rule

The calculation mandates an 8.33% monthly accumulation on the base salary alone.

$$Gratuity = Basic\_Salary \times (8.33\% \times 12) \times Years\_of\_Service$$

Frequently Asked Questions

Under the new Labor Act 2074, employers MUST deposit the 8.33% monthly into a designated fund from day one. If you are registered in the Social Security Fund (SSF), that money stays in your SSF account and continues to grow, even if you leave the employer before 5 years.
Yes, but it is heavily subsidized. There is a tax exemption limit, usually 50% of the total amount or up to Rs. 5,00,000 (whichever is lower), provided the fund is approved by the IRD. Only the amount exceeding this exempt limit is taxed at a flat 15%.
No. Gratuity is calculated strictly on your 'Basic Salary'. Allowances for housing, transportation, or food are excluded from the 8.33% calculation. Always check your payslip to identify your true Basic Salary.
Traditionally, companies held the gratuity fund internally and paid it out upon resignation. Now, under the Social Security Fund (SSF) scheme, the company must deposit the 8.33% monthly directly to the government SSF, meaning your fund is managed centrally and follows you from job to job.
Under the Labor Act 2074, gratuity is a statutory right. Even if an employee is terminated for misconduct, the employer cannot forfeit the accumulated gratuity. It must be paid out to the employee or transferred to their SSF account.
The law requires prorated calculations. For 5 years and 4 months, the calculation would be 5.33 years. You are entitled to the exact 8.33% accumulation for those additional 4 months worked.
