Salary & Gratuity Information
Understanding Salary Hikes
A salary hike is typically expressed as a percentage increase over your current salary. The actual impact depends on your base salary and the percentage increase. Regular salary hikes help maintain your purchasing power against inflation and reward your performance.
Gratuity Basics
Gratuity is a monetary benefit given by employers to employees as a token of gratitude for their services. As per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972:
- Employees who have completed at least 5 years of continuous service are eligible
- Gratuity is calculated as: (Last Drawn Salary × 15/26 × Years of Service)
- The maximum tax-exempt gratuity amount is ₹20,00,000
- For employees not covered under the Act, gratuity is calculated differently
Tax Implications
Both salary hikes and gratuity have tax implications that you should consider:
- Salary hikes increase your taxable income proportionally
- Higher income may move you to a higher tax slab
- Gratuity is tax-exempt up to ₹20,00,000 for eligible employees
- Consider tax-saving investments to optimize your take-home salary
Negotiation Tips
When negotiating a salary hike or evaluating job offers, consider these factors:
- Research industry standards for your role and experience level
- Consider the complete compensation package, not just the base salary
- Factor in benefits, work-life balance, and growth opportunities
- Be prepared with documentation of your achievements and contributions
- Consider the long-term potential of the role beyond just the immediate salary
