UAE End-of-Service Gratuity Calculator
Estimate end-of-service gratuity under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021.
How this calculator works
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, end-of-service gratuity for UAE private-sector employees is calculated as:
- First 5 years: 21 days' basic salary for each year of service
- Beyond 5 years: 30 days' basic salary for each additional year
- Maximum: capped at 24 months' basic salary
- Eligibility: payable only after at least one full year of continuous service
The daily rate is calculated as basic monthly salary divided by 30.
