Leave Encashment Calculator
Unused earned leave is paid in cash at retirement, up to a limit on days. Enter your last pay and leave balance to see the amount.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your last basic pay. Leave DA blank to use the rate in force on your date.
- Enter the days of earned leave to your credit.
- Choose whether your employer is the government or not.
- Choose the date, and calculate.
How it is calculated
The payment is basic plus DA divided by 30, multiplied by the days of leave, with the days capped at 300.
For central and state government employees it is fully exempt from income tax. For others — PSUs, banks, autonomous bodies, private employers — only an amount up to a ceiling is exempt, and the result shows the taxable part.
Worked example
A government employee with a last basic of ₹80,000 and 300 days of leave on 1 August 2026, DA at 60%: ₹1,28,000 ÷ 30 × 300 = ₹12,80,000, all of it tax-free.
