About This Calculator
Our goal is to make a standard UAE end-of-service calculation understandable without pretending that an online tool can replace official records or professional advice.
Why this site exists
Employees often receive a final settlement containing a single gratuity number with little explanation. At the same time, many online pages still repeat provisions from the former labour law. This site provides a fast estimate and shows the arithmetic behind it.
What the calculator covers
The tool models the standard federal private-sector formula for a foreign worker using the last basic wage, employment dates, unpaid leave, a work-pattern ratio and a two-year wage cap.
What it does not cover
It does not calculate DIFC, ADGM, domestic-worker, UAE-national pension, piece-rate, court-order, or alternative end-of-service savings-scheme outcomes. It also cannot interpret a private contract, collective policy, court judgment or factual dispute.
Calculation method
- Daily basic wage = monthly basic salary ÷ 30.
- Adjusted service = calendar service minus entered unpaid days.
- No standard gratuity below one year of adjusted service.
- 21 gratuity days per year for the first five years.
- 30 gratuity days per year for service after five years.
- Partial years calculated proportionally.
- Result limited to the entered two-year wage cap.
