Calculate Your Estimated Gratuity
Uses a simplified UAE gratuity formula based on basic salary. This is an estimate, not legal advice.
How UAE gratuity is commonly estimated
For many UAE employees, gratuity is calculated using basic salary and length of service:
- Less than 1 year: usually no gratuity.
- 1 to 5 years: 21 days of basic salary for each year.
- More than 5 years: 21 days per year for the first 5 years, then 30 days per year after that.
Actual entitlement can vary depending on contract details, law changes, unpaid leave, free-zone rules, final-settlement deductions, and disputes.
