A SIMPLE WAY TO ESTIMATE YOUR UAE GRATUITY

Understand Your
End of Service Gratuity

The UAE End of Service Gratuity Calculator helps employees estimate their gratuity entitlement as per UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021). Whether you are resigning, completing a contract, or transitioning to a new role, understanding your gratuity is an important part of career planning and financial awareness.

This calculator provides an indicative gratuity amount based on your basic salary, length of service, and reason for separation, following standard UAE gratuity rules. It applies to employees working in the private sector across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE. While gratuity calculations may vary depending on employment contracts, termination circumstances, and company policies, this tool gives you a clear starting point to understand what you may be entitled to receive.

Use this gratuity calculator to plan ahead, clarify expectations, and approach your next career move with confidence.
