What is Gratuity?
Gratuity is a lump-sum payment made by an employer to an employee upon leaving the company after a qualifying period of service. It serves as a form of financial recognition for the employee's loyalty and contribution.
Gratuity is governed by labor laws in each country. In the UAE, it is regulated under the Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and applies to private-sector employees. In India, the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 governs gratuity for establishments with 10 or more employees.
Our calculator supports multiple countries and regions, so you can get an accurate estimate of your end-of-service benefits in seconds. Try our free calculator to see how much gratuity you're entitled to.
How to Calculate Gratuity
AEUAE Gratuity Formula
Under UAE labor law, gratuity is calculated using basic salary only (no allowances):
- 21 days of basic salary per year for first 5 years
- 30 days of basic salary per year for years beyond 5
- Daily wage = Basic Salary ÷ 30
- Maximum cap: 2 years of total basic salary
- Minimum 1 year of service required
INIndia Gratuity Formula
Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972:
- Gratuity = (Basic + DA) × 15 × Years of service ÷ 26
- Service of 6+ months in a year counts as a full year
- Minimum 5 years of service required
- Maximum payout capped at ₹20 lakh
Gratuity Calculation Examples
Example 1: UAE Gratuity (3 Years Service)
Basic Salary: AED 10,000/month
Years of Service: 3 years
Calculation:
- Daily wage = AED 10,000 ÷ 30 = AED 333.33
- Gratuity = 21 days × 3 years × AED 333.33 = AED 21,000
Total Gratuity: AED 21,000
Example 2: UAE Gratuity (7 Years Service)
Basic Salary: AED 15,000/month
Years of Service: 7 years
Calculation:
- Daily wage = AED 15,000 ÷ 30 = AED 500
- First 5 years: 21 days × 5 years × AED 500 = AED 52,500
- Next 2 years: 30 days × 2 years × AED 500 = AED 30,000
Total Gratuity: AED 82,500
Example 3: India Gratuity (6 Years Service)
Basic Salary + DA: ₹50,000/month
Years of Service: 6 years
Calculation:
- Gratuity = (₹50,000 × 15 × 6) ÷ 26 = ₹173,077
Total Gratuity: ₹173,077
