No Attorney-Client Relationship or Binding Legal Advice

The information, estimates, formulas, and guidance provided by UAE Gratuity Calculator are prepared for educational, general informational, and personal planning purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes formal legal counsel, tax advice, certified financial planning, or binding payroll mediation.

1. Nature of the Calculation Algorithm

The gratuity figures calculated on this website are derived from automated mathematical logic adhering to:

  • UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 (Article 51, Article 52, and Article 53)
  • Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022 (Article 30 on part-time and flexible arrangements)
  • MOHRE Official Directives regarding basic salary division by 30 days

While these formulas correspond directly to standard statutory provisions, actual real-world separation settlements may be influenced by complex individual contractual clauses, pending disciplinary inquiries, judicial rulings in the Labour Court, or unpaid employee liabilities.

2. Scope: Mainland vs Excluded Free Zones & Pension Regimes

Users must note that this calculator is engineered specifically for foreign national employees employed in the UAE Mainland Private Sector and free zones adhering to federal labour law:

Financial Free Zones (DIFC / ADGM):Companies in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) are subject to DIFC Employment Law No. 2 of 2019 and the DEWS workplace savings scheme. ADGM operates under independent employment regulations.
UAE / GCC National Employees:Citizens of the UAE and GCC countries are registered with GPSSA or the Abu Dhabi Pension Fund (ADPF) and are exempt from expatriate end-of-service gratuity.
