UAE Final Settlement Calculator – Complete Exit Pay

Your final settlement is more than gratuity. When you leave a UAE job, three amounts land in one payment: end of service gratuity, encashment of unused leave, and any salary you’ve earned but not yet been paid. This calculator adds them up.

Frequently asked questions
What does a UAE final settlement include?
Gratuity (21/30 days of basic pay per year), encashment of unused annual leave on basic salary, salary earned but not yet paid on gross salary, compensation in lieu of notice where notice was not given, a repatriation ticket if your contract provides one, minus any outstanding loans or advances.
When must the final settlement be paid?
Within 14 days of the contract end date under Article 53 of the labour law. If your employer delays beyond that, you can file a complaint with MOHRE on 80060.
How does notice affect the settlement?
If the employer terminates without serving notice, they owe you compensation equal to your gross salary for the notice period. If you leave without serving notice, the same amount can be deducted from your settlement. Serving notice properly keeps the settlement clean.
Can my employer deduct visa costs from my settlement?
No. Recruitment and visa costs are the employer's legal responsibility and cannot be passed to you at exit. Legitimate deductions are limited to things like documented loans, advances and notice compensation.

The three components explained

Gratuity uses your basic salary: 21 days per year for the first five years, 30 days after, capped at two years of pay – full details on the gratuity calculator page. Leave encashment pays unused annual leave at basic ÷ 30 per day (see the leave salary calculator). Pending salary covers days worked in your final month, on your gross salary including allowances.

What gets added – and deducted

Additions can include a repatriation flight if your contract provides one and compensation in lieu of notice if your employer terminated without notice. Deductions can include outstanding loans and salary advances, compensation for notice you didn’t serve, and documented damages. Visa cancellation costs sit with the employer, not you.

The 14-day rule

Article 53 requires all end of service entitlements to be paid within 14 days of the contract end date. Don’t sign a final settlement acknowledgment you disagree with – once signed, reopening it is hard. Check the numbers here first, and raise discrepancies with MOHRE on 80060 before signing.
