Tools · UAE EOSB
Calculate your EOSB under Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021. 21 days basic salary per year for the first 5 years, 30 days thereafter. Capped at 2 years' total wage.
Basic salary is the contractual base figure stated in your employment contract — excluding housing allowance, transport allowance, telephone, food, education or any other benefits. UAE Labour Law uses basic salary as the sole input.
Under the post-2022 framework (FDL 33/2021), the historical distinction between resignation and termination has largely disappeared — gratuity is paid in full in either case provided the qualifying service threshold is met. The exception is gross-misconduct termination under Article 44, which can forfeit the gratuity entitlement.
Most UAE free zones apply the federal framework with zone-specific overlays. DIFC and ADGM operate separate employment regimes — DIFC under DIFC Employment Law, ADGM under ADGM Employment Regulations. End-of-service entitlement structures differ. This calculator covers onshore (federal) employees only.
Gratuity disputes are typically referred to the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE) for mediation, then escalated to the Labour Courts. We've handled gratuity recovery for senior executives, technical specialists and shift workers across construction, hospitality, banking, retail and oil & gas. Speak to our employment desk if your gratuity is disputed.
