      Solution

      The formula for calculating gratuity for non-government employees covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act is: Gratuity = 15 * Last drawn salary * Number of years of service / 26 Where, Last drawn salary is the average salary of the employee for the last 12 months of service. Number of years of service is the total number of years of service with the employer. 26 is the number of days in a month.  Therefore, 15 days salary is to be computed by dividing the monthly salary by 26.
