Work out end-of-service gratuity for private-sector employees under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. Enter the basic salary and the dates, and get the amount with the working shown.
This calculator is a guide, not legal advice. Contracts, free-zone rules and special cases can differ. Check the figures with MOHRE guidance or a qualified adviser before paying a final settlement.
| Years of service | Gratuity days |
|---|---|
| Under 1 year | None |
| 1 to 5 years | 21 days per year |
| Above 5 years | 105 days for the first five, plus 30 days per extra year |
For private-sector employees, gratuity is 21 days of basic salary for each of the first five years of service and 30 days for each year after that. The daily rate is basic salary divided by 30, and the total cannot exceed two years of basic salary.
No. Gratuity is payable only after at least one year of continuous service.
Basic salary only. Housing, transport and other allowances, overtime and bonuses are not included in the gratuity calculation.
Under Article 44 of the Decree-Law, an employee dismissed for the serious reasons listed there can lose their end-of-service gratuity. Tick the box in the calculator to see this case.
Periods of unpaid leave are normally not counted as service. The calculator lets you enter unpaid leave days to exclude them, the same way BizTracker UAE does.
BizTracker UAE works out gratuity, leave salary and final settlement for every employee, with PDF and Word reports. Free for 30 days.
