Step 1

Which rules apply to your employment?

Your employer’s legal registration matters more than the city where you work.

Government employees, domestic workers, pension-enrolled UAE/GCC nationals and unsupported free-zone cases need a different review. Not sure which path applies?
Choose the employment jurisdiction to continue.

What the final settlement includes

The planner separates salary still due, unused leave, notice compensation, gratuity or DEWS contributions, contractual additions, deductions and prior payments. This prevents one disputed item from hiding the rest of the calculation.

Choose the employment jurisdiction first

Federal private-sector employment, ADGM and DIFC use different end-of-service methods. Confirm the employer registration, work permit, contract and scheme statement before selecting a path.

Use the correct wage basis for every line

Traditional federal gratuity generally uses the last basic wage, while federal notice compensation generally uses the last wage and unused leave at termination uses basic wage. ADGM and DIFC have their own definitions.

Keep additions and deductions transparent

Commission, expenses, repatriation and other contract-dependent payments are entered separately. Loans, notice claims and other deductions should remain itemised and supported by records.

Compare the result with the employer statement

A difference is a question to investigate, not automatic proof of underpayment. Reconcile dates, wage bases, leave days, scheme contributions, deductions and payments already received.

Source-backed calculation

Calculations are tied to the selected jurisdiction and show their assumptions. They do not replace review of your contract, statement or legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Is final settlement the same as gratuity?

No. Gratuity or a savings-scheme benefit can be one component. Final settlement can also include salary, unused leave, notice, additions, deductions and prior payments.

Does the calculator decide whether a deduction is lawful?

No. It keeps deductions visible and shows their effect, but validity can depend on the contract, evidence and an official or legal assessment.

Can ADGM and DIFC employees use the calculator?

Yes, by selecting the appropriate calculation path. The tool does not apply the federal traditional gratuity formula to every employee.

When should I compare the employer amount?

Enter it after building your own line-by-line estimate so the difference can be traced to a specific component.
