End-of-service gratuity for UAE private-sector employees: 21 days of basic pay a year for the first five years, 30 days a year after that, capped at two years’ pay. Enter a basic salary and service dates below.
How the tiers work
Calculated on basic salary only. Housing, transport and other allowances are excluded by law.
Basic only, not housing, transport or other allowances.
Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 replaced the old labour law in February 2022, and two assumptions people still carry from before that date are usually the source of a wrong number.
Common mistake
Using total salary instead of basic
If your offer letter splits pay into basic plus allowances, only the basic figure goes into this calculation.
Worth knowing
The old resign-vs-terminate rule is gone
If you've read that resigning early forfeits part of your gratuity, that was true before February 2022 and is not the current law.
