Years of Service Calculator

How to use the years of service calculator

Pick your date of joining and the date you want to measure to. The calculator shows your length of service as years, months and days, along with the total number of months and total days.

Years of service are commonly used to work out gratuity eligibility, notice period, leave accrual and service awards.

This is a calendar calculation. The applicable labour laws, such as the Payment of Gratuity Act, and your employment contract govern how continuous service affects specific rights and benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are years of service calculated?

It measures the calendar time from your date of joining to the as-of date and breaks it into exact years, months and days, accounting for the varying number of days in each month.

What date should I use as the end date?

Use today to see your current service, or set a future or past date — for example your next work anniversary or a last working day — to measure service up to that point.

Do years of service affect gratuity?

Yes. Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, gratuity is generally payable after 5 years of continuous service, and the amount depends on your years of service and last drawn salary. The exact eligibility and rules are set by law and your employer.

What counts as continuous service?

Continuous service generally means working for the same employer without a qualifying break. Approved leave usually does not break continuity. The applicable labour laws and your company policy determine the details.

Are years of service the same as total work experience?

Not necessarily. Years of service usually mean time with a single employer, while total work experience spans your entire career across all jobs.
