Frequently Asked Questions
How is gratuity calculated in UAE?+
Under UAE Labour Law, gratuity is calculated based on your basic salary and length of service. For service of 1–5 years: 21 days basic salary per year. For service over 5 years: 30 days basic salary per year. The total gratuity is capped at 2 years' total basic salary.
Do I get gratuity if I resign in UAE?+
Yes. Under the new UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), employees who resign are entitled to full gratuity regardless of reason. The old rules that reduced gratuity for employees who resigned within 5 years no longer apply to contracts issued after February 2, 2022.
Is gratuity calculated on basic salary or total salary?+
Gratuity is calculated on your basic salary only — not on allowances like housing, transport, or other benefits. This is why your employment contract clearly separates your basic salary from total package. Your basic salary is typically 40–60% of your total monthly salary in the UAE.
