About this site
GratuityMeter works out one thing: the end-of-service gratuity a private-sector employee in the UAE is entitled to, with the whole calculation shown. This page says where the figures come from, what has and has not been checked, and who to contact when something here is wrong.
What this site does
GratuityMeter works out one thing: the end-of-service gratuity a private-sector employee in the United Arab Emirates is entitled to when their employment ends, under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021.
What distinguishes it from the alternatives is not the total — it is that the total comes with its working. Which day-rate band applied, what your daily wage was taken to be, what was multiplied by what, and whether a ceiling changed the answer. If your employer’s settlement disagrees with this site’s figure, you can point at the step where the two diverge instead of arguing about a number.
Where the figures come from
Every figure traces to a primary source, cited on the page that uses it. The sources are:
- Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Employment Relations — the operative law, as amended by 14 of 2022, 20 of 2023 and 9 of 2024.
- the Executive Regulations to that law.
- u.ae, the UAE Government portal, which publishes the operative rules in English.
Secondary sources — other calculators, law-firm summaries, news coverage — are used to locate a provision, never to confirm one. If a figure cannot be traced to the primary source, this site does not state it.

What has not happened
None of the figures on this site has been through our own final sign-off. They are transcribed from the sources named above and cited where they appear, and that is the whole of the claim being made about them. Nothing here has been personally verified by a named reviewer, and this site does not say otherwise anywhere on it.
There is a second, more ordinary limit: if a rule changed recently, it may not be reflected here yet. The stamp in the footer says when the figures were last updated — “updated”, deliberately, and never “verified”. Today it reads aug 2026.
Where this site and a cited source disagree, the cited source governs. That is not a disclaimer to skip past; it is the actual rule for how to use this page.
What it does not answer yet
There are currently 4 figures this site owes you and does not state. They are marked on the pages where they belong, each with the source where the answer lives, so you can read it yourself today rather than being given a guess.
That is a deliberate choice about which failure is worse. A plausible-looking wrong severance figure cannot be spotted by the person it misleads; a visible gap can be worked around. When those figures are sourced, the gaps close and the calculator produces a number with its working.
What this site is not
It is not legal advice, and it is not a settlement statement. It cannot see your contract, your payroll records or your leave history, and every one of those changes what you are actually paid. For the official amount, ask your employer; for a dispute about it, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) is the authority.
It also carries no advertising, sells nothing, and asks for nothing. What you type into the calculator stays in your browser — the privacy policy sets out exactly what does and does not leave your device.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, saying so is genuinely useful — particularly if you can point at the source it disagrees with. Get in touch.
