Treat the output as a planning figure. Compare it with your sanction letter, payslip, or GST invoice rather than treating it as a filing or a loan offer.

Frequently asked questions

For government employees, leave encashment at retirement can be fully exempt. For others, section 10(10AA) has a limit and conditions. Do not assume the figure is tax-free.

Assumptions and limits

  • Uses a 30-day month. Some employers use 26 working days — change the interpretation accordingly.
  • Tax exemption for non-government employees is limited and fact-specific. This tool shows the cash amount only.

Results are educational estimates, not tax, legal, investment, or medical advice, and not a loan offer. Verify filings and payments with the official authority or a qualified professional.
