UAE gratuity calculator

Under the UAE labour law in force since February 2022, a full-time worker with at least one year of continuous service gets a gratuity when the job ends, worked out from the last basic salary. Allowances such as housing and transport do not count.

For part-time contracts: your yearly contract hours as a percentage of full-time hours.

Your answer

End-of-service gratuityAED 55,054.79
Years of service counted7.01
Days of basic wage165.2
One day’s basic wageAED 333.33
  • A day’s wage is taken as the monthly basic salary ÷ 30; your employer’s figure may differ slightly. Money you owe your employer can be deducted. UAE nationals are covered by pension rules instead, and employers in the voluntary savings scheme pay into it instead of a gratuity.

How we worked it out

Updated as you change the numbers.

  1. Service: 7.01 years (unpaid leave left out).
  2. Days: 21 × 5 for the first five years + 30 × 2.01 after = 165.2 days.
  3. Gratuity = 165.2 × AED 333.33 (basic ÷ 30) = AED 55,054.79.

Method and assumptions

Article 51 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, as set out by the UAE Government portal: 21 days of basic wage for each of the first five years and 30 days for each year after, fractions of a year counted in proportion once one year is complete, days of unpaid absence left out, and a total of no more than two years’ wage. Part-time workers get the same share of the full-time amount as their contract hours (Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022, Article 30).
