UAE end-of-service benefits are payments an employee may receive when employment ends. The most searched part is gratuity, which is commonly estimated using basic salary and length of service.
How to estimate the amount
The simple estimate starts with basic salary, not total package. Divide basic salary by 30 to estimate a daily basic wage, then multiply by eligible gratuity days.
- Less than 1 year: commonly estimated as no gratuity.
- 1 to 5 years: commonly 21 days of basic salary per year.
- Over 5 years: commonly 21 days per year for the first 5 years, then 30 days per additional year.
- Total gratuity is generally limited and special cases can change the result.
Before relying on the number
Check your employment contract, basic salary, unpaid leave, free-zone rules, final settlement details, and current UAE labour guidance. This website provides estimates only and is not legal advice.
