Estimate your end-of-service gratuity before you plan your next move.
For foreign full-time employees covered by the UAE federal private-sector labour law and the traditional gratuity system. This estimate does not cover UAE/GCC pension arrangements, domestic workers, government employment, DIFC, ADGM, part-time work or periods covered by an alternative savings scheme.
How this estimate works
The daily basic wage is your monthly basic salary divided by 30. The first five eligible years accrue 21 days of basic wage per year; service beyond five years accrues 30 days per year. Eligible part-years are prorated after the one-year threshold. The total cannot exceed two years of wage.
Eligible service days are the difference between your dates less unpaid absence. For this estimate, unpaid days move the effective end date backwards. Completed calendar years count as full years; the remaining days are divided by the actual length of the next service year. Payroll date-inclusion and unpaid-leave conventions can produce differences; verify the final calculation with your employer.
Worked examples
- Basic salary AED 3,000 and exactly 3 eligible years: 3 × 21 × (3,000 ÷ 30) = AED 6,300.
- Basic salary AED 3,000 and exactly 7 eligible years: (5 × 21 + 2 × 30) × 100 = AED 16,500, before any applicable cap or lawful deductions.
- Less than one eligible year: no statutory gratuity under this calculation.
What is outside this figure?
This is gratuity only. Unpaid salary, unused leave, notice pay, reimbursements and lawful deductions can change your final settlement. Service in a savings scheme requires a separate assessment. The calculator runs in your browser and does not submit your salary or dates.
