Frequently Asked Questions

End of service gratuity is a statutory payment due to an employee at the end of employment in the private sector. It is calculated from the employee's basic salary and length of continuous service and is paid according to provisions of UAE labour law.
Employees who complete one year or more of continuous service are normally eligible. Eligibility may vary for specific free zones or contract types, so check the employment contract and the relevant authority for your jurisdiction.
Gratuity is calculated on the employee's basic salary only. Allowances, commissions and bonuses are generally excluded unless the employment contract specifies otherwise.
Use the daily wage method. Daily wage = basic monthly salary ÷ 30. For each completed year up to five years use 21 days per year. For each completed year after five years use 30 days per year. Add the two bands and prorate any remaining days.
Under common application of the law the total gratuity payable is subject to limits. Check the labour law or the relevant authority for the precise maximum that applies in your case.
Calculate completed full years first. Prorate any remaining days using the daily wage. Display rounded figures for clarity but keep the exact breakdown available to the user.
Periods of unpaid absence are typically excluded from the service period used to compute gratuity. Employers may adjust service days or make lawful deductions where unpaid leave applies.
The basic calculation rules remain, but circumstances such as resignation within certain periods, dismissal for gross misconduct, or contractual clauses can affect entitlement. For disputed cases seek official guidance.
Some free zones and specific schemes operate with their own procedures or transfer arrangements. Confirm with the relevant free zone authority or your contract for local variations.
Employers may make lawful deductions where permitted by contract or law, for example to recover documented debts. Any deduction should be transparent and supported by records. Disputes can be referred to the relevant authority.
For an official ruling contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation or your free zone authority, or consult a qualified employment lawyer. This calculator provides an estimate only.
