Requires completing a minimum of one full year (365 days) of continuous service to qualify for any payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

UAE GRATUITY FAQ INDEX

Read detailed answers to the 15 most common questions regarding
UAE end of service benefits, timelines, and MOHRE rules.

Gratuity, also known as End-of-Service Benefits (EOSB), is a statutory financial payment provided to eligible expatriate workers in the UAE when their employment contract is terminated or concluded. It serves as a reward for loyalty and continuous service.

For employees with at least one year of continuous service, gratuity is calculated as follows:

  • First 5 years of service: 21 days’ basic salary for each year worked.
  • For years beyond 5 years: 30 days’ basic salary for each additional year worked.

All calculations are pro-rated for partial years, provided the initial 1-year threshold has been met.

Under the current unified UAE Labour Law (Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), the calculation rates are identical regardless of whether you resign or are terminated. The old reduction rules for resignation under unlimited contracts (1/3 or 2/3 reductions) no longer apply to modern contracts.

Under the latest rules, all private-sector employees in the UAE must be transitioned to fixed-term (limited) contracts. Distinctions in gratuity calculations between limited and unlimited formats have been abolished for new periods of service. However, calculations for older legacy contracts prior to February 2022 still require these parameters.

You must complete a minimum of one full year (365 calendar days) of continuous service with your employer to be eligible for any gratuity payment. Service periods under 365 days yield zero gratuity benefits.

No. By law, gratuity calculations are based strictly on your latest basic salary. Separate allowances such as housing, transportation, utility reimbursements, bonuses, or commission scales are completely excluded.

Under the current law, employees generally retain their accrued gratuity entitlement even if terminated. However, if termination is due to gross misconduct listed under Article 44 of the UAE Labour Law (such as theft, forgery, or safety violations), specific legal exceptions and court decisions may apply.

No. Individual income tax is not levied in the United Arab Emirates. Your entire final gratuity payout settlement is 100% tax-free.

According to Article 53 of the UAE Labour Law, employers are legally obligated to pay all end-of-service settlements—including gratuity, accrued leave balance, and outstanding salary—within 14 days of the official contract termination date.

Any days taken as unpaid leave are excluded from the total duration of service. They are subtracted from your employment dates before calculating your total years of continuous service.

Yes. If you fail to serve your required legal notice period upon resignation, your employer is entitled to deduct compensation in lieu of notice (equivalent to your basic salary for the notice days not served) from your final settlement balance.

Yes. Under UAE Labour Law, the total end-of-service gratuity sum cannot exceed the equivalent of two years’ (24 months) worth of the employee’s basic salary.

Yes. By switching the calculator toggle to “Legacy Rules (Pre-2022)”, the system automatically applies the historical limited/unlimited reduction rules, 1/3 and 2/3 thresholds, and resignation differences that applied prior to the February 2022 Labour Law reform.

If your employer fails to pay your settlement within the 14-day legal timeframe or disputes the calculations, you should file a formal labor complaint through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) app, website, or call center (80060).

Our calculator follows standard, legally compliant UAE gratuity formulas, providing high accuracy estimates for planning. However, final values are subject to individual employment contract specifics, bank deductions, or final Ministry (MOHRE) audit decisions.
