This free calculator estimates the end-of-service gratuity that private-sector employees in the UAE are entitled to under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. Enter your monthly basic salary and your employment start and end dates to see your gratuity, broken down year by year.
How UAE Gratuity Is Calculated
For the first 5 years of service you earn 21 days of basic wage for each completed year. The daily wage is your monthly basic salary divided by 30.
For every year beyond the first 5 years you earn 30 days of basic wage per year. Article 51 caps the total at two years of the worker's Wage, so the calculator asks for total Wage separately from Basic Wage.
Only continuous service of at least one full year qualifies. Periods of unpaid leave are excluded from the service length used in the calculation.
What Counts as Basic Salary?
UAE gratuity is calculated on your basic salary only — not on your total monthly package.
Allowances such as housing, transport, utilities, furniture and similar add-ons are excluded from the gratuity calculation. If your contract states a basic salary of AED 6,000 inside a total package of AED 10,000, your gratuity is based on AED 6,000.
Always use the basic-salary figure from your labour contract or latest pay slip for the most accurate estimate.
Eligibility and Payment Timeline
Full-time private-sector employees generally become eligible for gratuity after completing at least one year of continuous service.
An employee who resigns is still entitled to gratuity once the one-year threshold is met under the current unlimited-contract rules.
The employer must pay all final entitlements, including gratuity, within 14 days from the date the contract ends.
UAE Gratuity Calculation Examples
Worked examples using a monthly basic salary of AED 10,000 (daily wage AED 333.33):
3 years of service
21 days × 3 years × AED 333.33
≈ AED 21,000 gratuity
7 years of service
First 5 years at 21 days + 2 extra years at 30 days × AED 333.33
≈ AED 55,000 gratuity
Less than 1 year
Service below the one-year minimum
No gratuity entitlement
Alternative End-of-Service Savings Scheme
MOHRE operates a voluntary Alternative End-of-Service Benefits System. Instead of accruing a lump sum at the end of service, employers contribute monthly into approved investment funds on the employee's behalf.
Under this scheme the contributions are invested and can grow over time, and the employee receives the accumulated value when they leave. Participation is currently optional and runs alongside the traditional gratuity system.
Which UAE Employment Framework Applies?
The federal private-sector formula is not universal. Part-time and job-sharing employees use a contractual annual-hours ratio; temporary and flexible arrangements can require MOHRE confirmation.
ADGM has its own 365-day formula and a 50% total-Wages floor. DIFC generally uses DEWS or another qualifying scheme, where statutory employer contributions are separate from the invested account balance.
Federal Government and Dubai Government use different scales. Other emirates and special entities may have separate HR laws, while UAE and GCC nationals are normally routed through the applicable pension authority.
The current domestic-workers law does not publish one general numerical gratuity formula. Payslip.ae therefore provides source-backed routing instead of silently reusing the private-sector amount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for gratuity in the UAE?
Private-sector employees generally become eligible after completing at least one year of continuous service, subject to UAE Labour Law and the terms of their contract.
Is UAE gratuity calculated on basic salary or total salary?
It is calculated on basic salary and generally excludes allowances such as housing, transport, utilities and furniture.
How is gratuity calculated for the first five years?
You receive 21 days of basic wage for each completed year of service in the first five years. The daily wage is your monthly basic salary divided by 30.
What happens after five years of service?
For each year beyond the first five you earn 30 days of basic wage per year, on top of the 21-day rate applied to the first five years.
When must the employer pay end-of-service benefits?
Employers must pay outstanding wages, entitlements and gratuity within 14 days from the date the contract ends.
What is the maximum gratuity in the UAE?
Article 51 states that total gratuity must not exceed two years of the worker's Wage. Basic Wage remains the basis of the 21/30-day accrual.
Do I get gratuity if I resign?
Yes. Under the current unlimited-contract rules an employee who resigns is still entitled to gratuity once they have completed at least one year of continuous service.
