UAE Gratuity Calculator is a simple tool that calculates your gratuity (مكافأة) – the amount an employer pays its employees at the end of their service. Whether you are working in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or any other city in the UAE, this tool helps you estimate your end-of-service benefits quickly and accurately.

According to the UAE Labour Law, gratuity calculation is applicable only after completing at least one year of service, and the final payment depends on the type of contract, service duration, and reason for leaving the job.

Whether you are a local or an overseas worker, knowing how to calculate gratuity for a limited or unlimited contract in the UAE is essential. The MOHRE gratuity calculator simplifies this process and ensures you avoid surprises when leaving your job.

The gratuity calculator is versatile. You can calculate your benefits if you live in other countries like the US, UK, EU, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Zambia, or India. However, rules differ in each country, so this calculator provides an estimate based on UAE Labour Law.

Gratuity is calculated based on your basic salary only. Housing, travel, and other allowances are excluded. Inputting your exact basic pay ensures accurate results.

Choose the type of contract:

• Limited Contract: A fixed-term employment agreement.
• Unlimited Contract: An open-ended employment agreement.

Select the reason for leaving your job:

• Resignation: Voluntary exit from the company.
• Termination / End of Contract: Employer ends the contract as per the UAE Labour Law.

Enter your First Working Day and Last Working Day to calculate your total service duration. The calculator uses this data to compute your gratuity according to UAE regulations.

Several free tools exist for employees in special economic zones like Jafza, DW, DMCC, and DDA. These tools use the same formulas as the national UAE gratuity calculator but cater to specific regional employment contracts.

Gratuity is a lump-sum payment received by private-sector employees at the end of employment. UAE Labour Law Article 51 ensures that employees are eligible for gratuity based on:

• Basic Salary
• Years of Service
• Type of Contract (Limited or Unlimited)

Bank employees and other sector-specific staff can also use specialized gratuity calculators to get precise results.

To be eligible:
