Enter your basic salary and dates to calculate.

Based on Article 51 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021: 21 days’ basic pay per year for the first five years, 30 days per year after that, part-years pro rata once one year is complete, and a cap of two years’ pay. It applies to full-time private-sector employees outside the DIFC and ADGM. It does not apply to UAE nationals, part-time contracts or employers in the Savings Scheme. This is an estimate, not legal advice. Your employer may deduct amounts owed under Article 51(7).

How the Calculation Works

  • Eligibility: you need at least one year of continuous service. Below one year, gratuity is zero (Article 51(2)).
  • First five years: 21 days of basic pay for each year of service (Article 51(2)(a)).
  • After five years: 30 days of basic pay for each additional year (Article 51(2)(b)).
  • Part-years: once you pass one year, part-years count pro rata (Article 51(3)). Unpaid absence is not counted as service (Article 51(4)).
  • Salary basis: your last basic wage only, without housing, transport or other allowances (Article 51(5)).
  • Cap: total gratuity cannot exceed two years’ pay (Article 51(6)).
  • Payment deadline: your employer must pay within 14 days of the contract ending (Article 53).
