What is end-of-service gratuity?
Across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) – the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman – expatriate employees are usually not part of the national pension system. Instead, the law gives them a lump-sum payment when the job ends. It is called gratuity in the UAE and Qatar, the end-of-service award in Saudi Arabia, and indemnity in Kuwait and Bahrain. Whatever it is called, this site calculates it for you.
The amount depends on three things: how long you worked, your last salary, and the rules of the country you worked in. Some countries use basic salary only, others use the full wage with allowances; some reduce the payment if you resign; and some have a ceiling.
Domestic workers and government employees follow separate rules. That is why this site has a separate calculator for each country and each worker type, with the legal reference shown next to every result.
