As per the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and Article 51, gratuity is a monetary payment. If you have completed one year or more in a company, then you are eligible for it. After the completion of your service period, you'll get a lump sum. Use our gratuity calculator and instantly calculate your gratuity amount.

Employment Period: 0 year 0 months and 0 days
| # | From | To | Days | Gratuity (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | dd/mm/yyyy | Invalid Date | 365 | 0.00 |
| 2 | Invalid Date | dd/mm/yyyy | 0 | 0.00 |
Total Gratuity You Should Receive: AED 0.00
After at least one year of work in a company, you'll be eligible for gratuity. Days of unpaid leave aren't a part of the calculation. If the employee owes any outstanding amount, it'll be subtracted from the gratuity payment.
For the first five years of service, you'll get a wage of twenty-one days for each year. For each additional year after that period, you'll get 30 days of wages as gratuity.
If you have completed at least one year of service under the same employer, then you are eligible for gratuity.
To calculate gratuity, you need to find out the basic salary. It must exclude additional allowances, bonuses, and other benefits.
As the next part, calculate your daily wage. Find out your daily wage by dividing your annual basic salary by 365.
As we know, for the first five years, 21 days of each year's basic salary will be calculated, so multiply the basic daily wage by 21. You'll get the gratuity correctly for each year.
After the first five years of service, calculate your 30 days of basic salary for every additional year and get the gratuity for those years.
For the total gratuity, first, calculate it for the first five years. Now calculate the gratuity for the rest of the years and add them together.
Employers can exclude any kind of absence without pay during the employment period.
Due to this step-by-step process, you'll get the overview of the way gratuity is calculated in the UAE.
