About Retirement Benefit Total Calculator

Retirement settlement is the sum of gratuity, provident fund, leave encashment and any commuted pension lump sum. Converting the total into a sustainable monthly income at a conservative 4% withdrawal rate is the most useful way to judge whether it is enough.

Formulas

Total corpus

Total = Gratuity + Provident fund + Leave encashment + Commuted pension

Sustainable income

Monthly income = Total corpus x 4% / 12

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
Indicative estimate only. Fees, entitlements, limits and formulas vary by jurisdiction, statute, policy wording and the facts of the case. This is not legal, tax, insurance or financial advice — confirm with a qualified professional or the relevant authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the whole settlement tax-free?

Rarely. Gratuity and leave encashment are usually exempt only up to prescribed limits, and rules differ between government and private employment.

Why a 4% withdrawal rate?

It is the widely used heuristic for a 30-year retirement horizon with an inflation-adjusted income. Lower rates are safer for longer horizons.
