How UAE gratuity works
End-of-service pay, without the guesswork
Gratuity is a statutory end-of-service benefit for employees on the UAE mainland. The maths is simple once you know the rules — and getting it wrong is a common, avoidable dispute.
- One year to qualify. No gratuity is payable until an employee completes a full year of continuous service.
- Basic salary only. It's calculated on basic pay — housing, transport and other allowances are excluded.
- 21 days, then 30. 21 days' basic pay per year for the first five years, then 30 days per year after.
- Capped at two years' pay. Total gratuity can never exceed two years of the employee's basic salary.
