About UAE Gratuity Calculator
Built for employees, HR specialists, and legal practitioners across the United Arab Emirates.
Our Mission: Accurate, Fair, and Transparent Calculations
When the UAE enacted Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 on 2 February 2022, it fundamentally transformed employment relationships in the private sector. The landmark legislation standardized contracts, abolished historical resignation penalties on unlimited contracts, instituted strict 14-day payment deadlines, and introduced modern part-time work formulas.
However, years after the decree took effect, hundreds of outdated websites still rely on repealed 1980 rules, misinforming employees into thinking they lose two-thirds of their gratuity if they resign.
UAE Gratuity Calculator was established to provide an authoritative, independent, and 100% free web resource that implements the exact statutory arithmetic mandated by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
Statutory Accuracy
Every formula is grounded in primary legal texts: Articles 51, 52, and 53 of Decree-Law 33/2021, and Article 30 of Cabinet Resolution 1/2022.
Privacy by Design
Calculations run in-browser. We never store, log, or transmit your confidential salary figures or contract dates to external servers.
Expat & HR Focused
Engineered with multi-currency approximate views (USD, EUR, GBP, INR, PKR, PHP), printable receipts, and detailed case studies.
Our Research & Editorial Review Process
All content, computational logic, and guides on this website undergo continuous editorial review:
- Official Legislation Tracking: We monitor the UAE Federal Official Gazette (Jarida Rasmiya) and MOHRE ministerial circulars for regulatory amendments.
- Algorithmic Unit Testing: Our underlying calculation engine is tested with automated test suites verifying edge cases, leap year durations, and statutory caps.
- Multi-Jurisdictional Clarity: We explicitly distinguish mainland private-sector rules from specialized regimes such as DIFC (DEWS), ADGM, and the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA).
