Gratuity Calculator — End of Service Benefits in UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia & Gulf

Our gratuity calculator helps employees and HR professionals across the Gulf accurately calculate end of service benefits. Whether you're looking for a UAE gratuity calculator, a Dubai gratuity calculator, or an end of service calculator for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, or Oman — this free tool handles all six jurisdictions with country-specific formulas.

What Is Gratuity?

Gratuity, also called end of service benefits or end of service gratuity, is a lump-sum payment that employers must pay to employees upon termination of employment. It is a statutory right enshrined in labour law across all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Unlike a bonus, gratuity is not discretionary — it is a legal entitlement calculated based on your last basic salary and total years of service.

The UAE final settlement calculator is one of the most searched tools in the region, as the UAE is home to over 8 million expatriate workers who are entitled to gratuity upon completing at least one year of service.

UAE Gratuity Calculator — How It Works

Under UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), gratuity is calculated as follows:

  • First 5 years of service: 21 calendar days' basic salary per year
  • Beyond 5 years: 30 calendar days' basic salary per year
  • Cap: Total gratuity cannot exceed two years' basic salary
  • Minimum service: 1 complete year required

The Dubai gratuity calculator uses the same formula as the rest of the UAE — Dubai follows Federal Labour Law. The daily rate is calculated by dividing the basic monthly salary by 30. Our end of service calculator UAE automatically applies this formula and flags the cap where applicable.

Saudi Arabia End of Service Calculator

Saudi Labour Law calculates end of service gratuity based on the employee's actual wage (basic salary plus regular allowances). The formula is:

  • First 5 years: Half a month's wage per year
  • Beyond 5 years: One full month's wage per year

Employees who resign receive a reduced entitlement: one-third for 2–5 years of service, two-thirds for 5–10 years, and full gratuity for 10+ years. Termination by the employer entitles the employee to full gratuity from the first year.

Qatar Gratuity Calculator

Qatar Labour Law No. 14 of 2004 mandates a minimum of three weeks' (21 days') basic salary per year of service. This applies uniformly after one year of continuous employment, with no distinction between first-5 and post-5 tiers unlike UAE law. The Qatar gratuity calculator applies this formula with pro-rata calculation for partial years.

Kuwait End of Service Benefits

Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 provides 15 days' basic salary per year for the first five years, and 30 days per year thereafter. Total gratuity is capped at 1.5 years' salary. Resignation may reduce entitlements, particularly for service under five years.

Bahrain and Oman Gratuity Calculations

Bahrain applies 15 days per year for the first three years, and one full month per year thereafter. Oman, following 2023 labour reforms, standardises gratuity at one month's basic salary per year of service, calculated pro-rata for partial years.
