Leaving a private sector job in the UAE usually comes with questions about end of service gratuity. Employees want a realistic number before they sign a clearance form. HR teams want a clear way to explain the estimate without opening a full payroll file for every informal question.

Under Federal Decree Law 33 of 2021, gratuity for most private sector employees is based on basic salary and continuous service. A common way to think about it is:

For the first five years of service, many calculations use 21 days of basic salary for each year. For service beyond five years, many calculations use 30 days of basic salary for each additional year.There is usually a two year basic salary cap on the total gratuity amount.Only completed years of continuous service normally count, and unpaid absences can affect the service period.Basic salary is the figure that matters for the estimate, not the full package with allowances.

These points are a practical overview for those interested in exploring themselves. Exact entitlements still depend on contract type, free zone rules where they apply, and how the employment ends. Official MOHRE guidance and the employment contract remain the source of truth for a final settlement.

A free public calculator can help employees and HR run a quick estimate in under a minute. UAE Gratuity Check is bilingual in English and Arabic, runs privately in the browser, and is built around the current labour law framework.
