Estimate end-of-service gratuity for UAE employment.

End-of-service gratuity is a benefit paid at the end of employment to eligible expatriate workers in the UAE private sector. It rewards completed service and is normally calculated from the employee's latest basic wage and length of service.

A full-time foreign worker generally becomes eligible after completing at least one year of continuous service. UAE nationals follow pension and social security rules instead of the expatriate gratuity calculation.

The usual eligibility conditions are: the employee is an expatriate worker, the employment is covered by UAE labour rules, the worker has completed at least one year of continuous service, the worker is not covered by a different pension or alternative end-of-service scheme for that period, and the service period excludes unpaid absence days where applicable.

Under the standard UAE private-sector gratuity rules, the main clear case is when the worker has less than one year of continuous service. A worker may also fall outside this calculator if they are covered by UAE national pension rules, a different legal category, a free-zone or alternative end-of-service scheme, or a special contract arrangement. Unpaid absence days are not counted in the service period and can reduce entitlement. The employer may also deduct lawful amounts payable by the worker where allowed by law or judgment.

If continuous service is below one year, the calculator shows zero gratuity. Official UAE guidance states that the foreign worker must complete one year or more of continuous service to be entitled to end-of-service benefits.

Gratuity is calculated from the latest basic wage or eligible basic salary. The calculator labels this as Current latest monthly salary. It is separate from the total salary package because allowances are not added to the gratuity base.

No. The calculator shows housing, transport, and other allowances so you can understand the full monthly package and net salary, but the gratuity amount is calculated from the eligible salary only.

For eligible full-time expatriate workers, gratuity is calculated at 21 days of basic wage for each year of service during the first five years. The calculator converts monthly salary to a daily eligible salary by dividing it by 30.

For service beyond five years, the additional years are calculated at 30 days of basic wage for each year after the first five years. The year-by-year table separates the first five years from later years.

Yes, after the employee has completed at least one year of continuous service, part of a final year is generally calculated in proportion to the period worked. The calculator shows a partial final year row when the dates include extra months or days.

Official UAE guidance states that unpaid days of absence are not included in the calculation of service term. This calculator does not currently ask for unpaid absence days, so HR should adjust the service period if unpaid absence applies.

UAE guidance provides that total end-of-service benefits for the foreign worker should not exceed two years' wage. This calculator focuses on the standard year-by-year estimate and does not apply a separate cap adjustment.

An employer may deduct amounts payable by the worker where allowed by law or judgment and applicable procedures. This calculator does not subtract loans, advances, damages, or other company deductions.

UAE labour law requires the employer to pay the worker's wages and other entitlements within the legally specified period after the contract ends. In practice, gratuity is only one part of the full final settlement.

No. Gratuity is one component. A final settlement may also include unpaid salary, unused annual leave, notice period amounts, approved expenses, deductions, and any contract-specific entitlements.

This calculator does not reduce gratuity based on resignation or termination reason. It uses the standard salary-and-service approach. Specific cases should be checked with HR, MOHRE guidance, or legal advice.

Part-time and job-sharing gratuity can be calculated proportionally based on contracted working hours compared with full-time working hours. This calculator is designed for a simple full-time estimate.

Different rules can apply depending on worker category, employer type, free zone, pension scheme, or alternative end-of-service scheme. Use this calculator as a general private-sector expatriate estimate unless HR confirms it fits your case.

Check UAE Government and MOHRE guidance for the latest end-of-service benefit rules, especially if your case involves unpaid absence, part-time work, free zones, domestic work, pension schemes, or disputes.

No. The calculator is a preparation tool. The final amount should be confirmed by the employer's HR/payroll team or the relevant authority using the employment contract, payroll records, and applicable law.
