How the Qatar End of Service Calculator Works
When an employee leaves a job in Qatar after at least one year, the employer must pay an end of service gratuity (EOSG). This calculator applies the Qatar Labour Law minimum — three weeks of basic wage for each year of service — and pro-rates any partial year. Enter your basic monthly wage, years, and any extra months, and it returns your gratuity instantly.
The Formula
Under Article 54 of the Qatar Labour Law:
Daily wage = basic monthly wage ÷ 30 Gratuity = daily wage × 21 days × years of service
The 21 days is the statutory minimum (3 weeks per year); an employer may set a higher number of days. Service must reach at least one year to qualify, and any additional months are counted proportionally as a fraction of a year. The basic wage excludes allowances such as housing and transport.
Worked Example
For an employee with a basic monthly wage of QAR 8,000 and 3 years 6 months of service, at the 21-day minimum:
- Daily wage = 8,000 ÷ 30 = QAR 266.67
- Total service = 3 + 6 ÷ 12 = 3.5 years
- Gratuity = 266.67 × 21 × 3.5 = ≈ QAR 19,600
If the same employee had served only 9 months, they would be below the one-year threshold and no gratuity would be due.
Gratuity Reference Table
These figures use the 21-day minimum and a basic monthly wage of QAR 8,000 (daily wage QAR 266.67).
| Years of service | Days of wage (21/yr) | Gratuity (QAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 | 5,600 |
| 3 | 63 | 16,800 |
| 5 | 105 | 28,000 |
| 10 | 210 | 56,000 |
Important Notes
- Basic wage only: allowances and bonuses are not part of the calculation.
- One-year minimum: no gratuity is payable for less than a completed year of service.
- Higher policies allowed: many employers pay more than 21 days per year; adjust the “days per year” field to match your contract.
- Deductions: the gratuity may be reduced by any amounts the employee legally owes the employer.
This tool reflects the minimum statutory formula under Qatar’s Labour Law and is for general guidance only. Contracts, longer-service multipliers and specific terminations can change the result, and the law can be amended — confirm your entitlement with your contract, employer HR, or a qualified labour adviser before relying on a figure.
Frequently asked questions
How is end of service gratuity calculated in Qatar?+
Divide the basic monthly wage by 30 to get a daily wage, then multiply by at least 21 days (3 weeks) for each year of service. For a basic wage of QAR 8,000 and 3.5 years, that is (8,000 ÷ 30) × 21 × 3.5 = about QAR 19,600.
What is the minimum gratuity per year under Qatar Labour Law?+
Article 54 of the Qatar Labour Law sets a minimum of 3 weeks' basic wage, equal to 21 days, for each year of service. Employers may pay more under their own policy, but they cannot pay less than the 21-day minimum.
Do I qualify for gratuity if I worked less than a year?+
No. Gratuity is payable only to employees who have completed at least one full year of continuous service with the same employer. Below one year, no end of service gratuity is due, although other final dues such as unused leave may apply.
Is gratuity based on basic salary or total salary?+
Gratuity is based on the basic wage only. Allowances such as housing, transport, and other benefits are excluded from the calculation, so the payout uses the basic component of your monthly wage.
How are partial years of service treated?+
Partial years are paid pro-rata. After completing the first full year, each additional month adds a proportionate share of the annual gratuity. For example, 6 extra months add half a year's worth to the total payout.
