    Staffing markup is the amount added to a worker's underlying pay or salary cost when determining the client billing rate. It is generally expressed as a percentage of the pay rate.

    For example:
    a 50% markup on a ₹1,00,000 pay rate produces a ₹1,50,000 bill rate. The ₹50,000 difference is the markup value. That does not mean the staffing company has a 50% profit margin because other costs still have to be considered.

    Experience this using CoHire Staffing Markup Calculator

    A common formula is:

    Staffing Markup % = ((Bill Rate − Pay Rate) ÷ Pay Rate) × 100

    Try this:
    =((150000-100000)/100000)*100

    a bill rate of ₹1,50,000 and pay rate of 1,00,000 produces a markup of 50%. Note that this is not profit, as other overhead costs and expenses still have to be considered and reduced from the markup.

    Experience this using CoHire Staffing Markup Calculator

    A basic bill rate can be calculated by multiplying the pay rate by one plus the markup percentage. Additional costs and required profitability should also be considered when setting the final rate.

    For example, a 50% markup on a ₹1,00,000 pay rate produces a ₹1,50,000 bill rate. The ₹50,000 difference is the markup value. That does not mean the staffing company has a 50% profit margin because other costs still have to be considered.

    Gratuity is a statutory employee benefit paid by an employer to an eligible employee as a reward for long and continuous service. It is generally paid when an employee retires, resigns, or leaves the organization after meeting the applicable eligibility requirements.

    Want to calculate your estimated gratuity amount?

    Eligibility depends on applicable gratuity laws, your length of continuous service, employment type, and your employer's policies. If you're unsure, contact your HR or payroll team for confirmation.

    Want to calculate your estimated gratuity amount?

    Yes. The calculator helps you estimate your gratuity before resigning, allowing you to make informed financial and career decisions.

    Gratuity is generally calculated using the applicable wages, 15 days' wages for each completed year of service, and the applicable gratuity rules. A commonly used formula is (Basic Salary × 15 × Completed Years of Service) ÷ 26. Use the CoHire Gratuity Calculator to estimate your gratuity amount instantly. 

    Yes. The CoHire Gratuity Calculator is completely free to use and provides an estimated gratuity amount in seconds.

    The calculator provides an estimated gratuity amount based on the salary details and service period entered. Your employer's payroll team can confirm the exact gratuity payable.


    Gratuity is calculated using the applicable statutory definition of wages, not simply your gross salary or CTC. Since 21 November 2025, the revised wage definition under the Labour Codes applies to gratuity calculations, including applicable wage components and the 50% rule for certain allowances. For example, 50% of your monthly gross salary (ie. Basic + DA)is used for calculating gratuity.

    Your total eligible service period may affect your gratuity calculation. If serving your notice period changes your completed service, it could influence the estimated gratuity amount.

    Yes. The CoHire Gratuity Calculator can be used by employees across industries in India to estimate gratuity based on the information they provide.

    CoHire's calculator provides a quick, simple, and reliable way to estimate gratuity, understand your employee benefits, and plan your next career move.

    Typically, you need your salary details and total years of service. Enter these details into the calculator to receive an instant estimate.

    In India, gratuity is tax-free for government workers. For private sector workers, it is tax-free up to ₹20 lakhs. Any amount above ₹20 lakhs, or any gratuity paid while you still work for the company, is fully taxed as regular income. You can check official filing guidelines on the Income Tax Department portal.

    For employees covered under Section 10(10) of the Income Tax Act, exemption is subject to the applicable statutory limits and conditions.

    For employees covered by the general statutory gratuity provisions, five years of continuous service is generally required. However, there are important exceptions and special rules, including cases involving death or disablement and fixed-term employment.

    Under the current Labour Code framework, a fixed-term employee is eligible for gratuity after completing one year of service under the contract. This is different from the general five-year requirement applicable in many other cases.

    It can. If completing your notice period changes your total eligible service period or takes you across an applicable service milestone, it may affect your gratuity calculation. Your final eligibility and service period should be confirmed by your employer's payroll or HR team.

    Yes, in certain circumstances. Gratuity may be forfeited wholly or partly where the employee's service is terminated for specified misconduct or other circumstances covered by applicable law. Forfeiture is not automatic simply because an employee resigns.

    Your gratuity depends mainly on your applicable wages and eligible years of service. Before resigning, check whether completing an additional service milestone could increase your gratuity and confirm your expected last working date with payroll. You can use the CoHire Gratuity Calculator to compare different exit dates.
