A common estimate uses monthly basic salary divided by 30 and multiplied by unused leave days. Actual company policy may use different salary components.

Should I use basic salary or gross salary?
Many calculations use basic salary plus dearness allowance, if applicable. Check your HR policy because some employers define encashment salary differently.

Some companies allow partial encashment during service, while others allow it only at exit or retirement. The tax treatment may differ.
How should salaried people use leave encashment money?
Use it for priority goals such as emergency fund, loan prepayment, insurance premiums, or long-term investments instead of treating it as extra spending money.
