UAE End of Service Gratuity Calculator
Leaving a job in the UAE? Your gratuity is worked out on your basic salary only — not your full package. Housing, transport and other allowances do not count. Enter your basic salary and how long you've served, and see the full breakdown under the current Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Article 51, as set out on the UAE Government portal, u.ae).
Your estimated gratuity
| Length of service | |
| Daily basic wageMonthly basic salary ÷ 30 — the standard MOHRE convention | |
| First five years | |
| Years after the fifth | |
| Reduction for resigningNone — under the current Labour Law, resigning does not cut your gratuity. The old one-third / two-thirds reductions belonged to the previous law and were abolished when Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 took effect in February 2022. | |
| Legal cap applied?Total gratuity may not exceed two years of wage (24 × monthly basic), per Article 51 |
This is an estimate only — it is not legal advice. The final figure is calculated by your employer under MOHRE rules and can differ (for example, days of unpaid absence do not count as service, and amounts you owe the employer may be deducted). If your figure looks wrong, MOHRE is the authority to contact. DIFC and ADGM companies follow their own end-of-service schemes, not this calculator. Rules as published on the UAE Government portal (u.ae), checked 7 November 2026.
