About the UAE End of Service Gratuity Calculator

Full-time employees with at least one year's continuous service get 21 days' basic salary for each of the first five years and 30 days for each year after that, pro rata for part years. The total can't exceed two years' wages. It's based on the last basic salary, without allowances. Since February 2022 there's no reduction for resigning.

The formula

Gratuity = (basic ÷ 30) × (21 × first 5 years + 30 × further years)

Worked example

Example: End-of-service gratuity = AED 74,800

Inputs: Last monthly basic salary: AED 11,000; Years of service: 8.3 years.
Formula: Gratuity = (basic ÷ 30) × (21 × first 5 years + 30 × further years)
Result: End-of-service gratuity = AED 74,800

Things to keep in mind

Unpaid leave is excluded from service. Some employers use a 365-day year for the daily wage. UAE nationals, government employees, DIFC/ADGM employees and those in the voluntary savings scheme have different arrangements.
