Turn a final-pay rule into a checkable estimate

This canonical planner does not supply a statutory gratuity rate. Enter the eligible days and payroll divisor from a current official rule, contract, or collective agreement, then keep the resulting formula with the settlement review.

Boundary: A calculation does not establish eligibility. Exit reason, service definition, pay basis, notice, leave, pension, tax, deductions, caps, and contract terms may change the amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this page decide whether gratuity is owed?

No. Eligibility depends on the governing law, exit reason, contract, collective agreement, and service history. This page only applies the values you enter.

Why must I enter a payroll divisor?

The formula converts monthly eligible pay to daily pay. Use the divisor required by the current rule or payroll basis, and retain that evidence with the review.

Does AfroTools receive employee pay data?

No. This workflow runs locally in the browser and does not ask for employee identity details.

Exit-pay verification

Confirm final-pay assumptions before settlement

This workflow estimates an exit-pay envelope from pay, service years, and eligible days. Final settlement can change with law, contract clauses, payroll records, and tax treatment.

Payroll planning model

Reviewed 2026. Gratuity, severance, notice, leave pay, tax, and deductions can vary by country and contract.

Methodology

  • Uses daily pay, eligible days per year, and service years to estimate an exit-pay envelope.
  • Prompts review of gratuity, severance, notice, leave pay, pension, loans, and tax treatment.
  • Copyable result creates a payroll-review note without sending salary or employee information anywhere.

Before acting

  • Verify current labour law, contract terms, collective agreements, leave balance, notice, pension, loans, and deductions.
  • Confirm the reason for exit and any statutory minimums before final settlement or employee communication.
  • Treat this as a review estimate, not legal, tax, payroll, immigration, or compliance advice.
