Without Completing Contract:

1-5 Years:
If you have accomplished your limited contract and it is within 1 to 5 years, you are entitled for 21 day’s basic salary wage for every single year of work.

In case you have been terminated by your Employer or Company and you have not completed your 1 year yet, you will not eligible for any gratuity, but if worked with the company for more than 1 year and less than 3 years, you will get 30 day’s of basic salary for No. of years your served before termination.


Follow below formula and calculate your Gratuity Online Now. 



A Simple Four-Banger


Formula 1:
Basic Salary ÷ 30 (days in Month) x 21 (basic salary days) x 2 (years of service) 
Example:  3000 ÷ 30 x  21 x  2 = 4200

How it Works?
3000 ÷ 30 = 100 Your daily Wage is 100 AED
100 x 21 = 2100 So, your 21 days of basic wage is 2100.
Now Multiply your basic wage with the No. of years you work :2100 x 2 = 4200

Formula  2:
Basic Salary x 21 days x No. of years of service / 30
Example: 3000 x  21 x 2 /30 = 4200 AED
