🇦🇪 UAE Gratuity Calculator
Estimate your end-of-service pay under UAE Labour Law (mainland, private sector).
Daily wage = basic salary ÷ 30. You earn 21 days’ basic pay for each of the first five years and 30 days for each year after that, pro-rated for part years, once you have completed at least one year. The total is capped at two years’ wage. Unpaid leave days are not counted as service.
This is an estimate for informational purposes, not legal advice. Free-zone employers (e.g. DIFC) and some contracts may differ. Check your contract or the MOHRE website.
Who gets gratuity in the UAE?
Employees who complete at least one year of continuous service with the same employer are entitled to end-of-service gratuity.
Is gratuity calculated on total salary?
No. It uses your last basic salary only, so housing, transport and other allowances are excluded. The two-year cap is based on total wage.
Does resigning reduce my gratuity?
Under the current labour law, the earlier reductions for resignation no longer apply to the standard calculation.
When must gratuity be paid?
Employers are generally required to settle final dues within 14 days of the end of the contract.
Does this apply in free zones?
Not always. Free zones such as DIFC have their own rules, so check your contract.
