End-of-Service (Gratuity) Calculator — GCC
Work out your full end-of-service settlement in the UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman or Bahrain — gratuity plus leave, notice and ticket — and what it's worth if you invest it.
How is end-of-service gratuity calculated in the UAE?
Quick answer: In the UAE, end-of-service gratuity is 21 days of basic pay for each of your first five years and 30 days for each year after, capped at two years' pay. For example, six years on AED 10,000 basic gives about AED 44,384 in gratuity, before adding unused leave, notice pay and a repatriation ticket. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain each use their own formula — this calculator applies the right one per country. (Estimate; confirm against current labour law.) See methodology →
Default inflation rate for Other: 3.0% per year, based on long-run global CPI averages data (2026). You can override it in each calculator’s advanced options. See data sources for full citations.

Real-World Examples
6 years in Dubai on AED 10,000 basic
With six years of service and AED 10,000 basic pay, UAE gratuity is 21 days × 5 years plus 30 days × 1 year of daily basic pay — roughly AED 44,000 — before adding unused leave, notice, and a flight home. Invested for a decade, that lump sum could grow substantially in real terms.
