About this tool
Under Article 54 of Qatar’s Labour Law (Law No. 14 of 2004), an employer must pay an end-of-service gratuity to every worker who has completed at least one year of service. The contract can set the amount, but it cannot be less than three weeks’ wage for each year of service, and part years are paid in proportion to the time worked. The gratuity is based on the last basic wage, so housing, transport and other allowances are not included.
The calculation below gives that legal minimum. The monthly basic salary is divided by 30, because the Labour Law counts a month as 30 days, and 21 daily wages are due for each year. For example, 10,000 riyals a month for exactly five years gives 10,000 ÷ 30 × 21 × 5 = 35,000 riyals. The employer may deduct amounts you owe, so ask for a written breakdown of your final settlement.
Frequently asked questions
How is gratuity calculated in Qatar?
Daily basic wage (monthly basic salary ÷ 30) × 21 days × years of service, with part years in proportion. This is the minimum set by Article 54 of the Labour Law; your contract can give more.
Do allowances count towards gratuity?
No. Article 54 bases the gratuity on the last basic wage, so housing, transport and other allowances are left out unless your contract says otherwise.
Is gratuity due if I worked less than a year?
No. The gratuity is due once you have completed one year of service. After that, months and days beyond your last full year count too.
Do I lose gratuity if I resign?
No. The Labour Law does not reduce the gratuity when you resign after at least a year of service. Dismissal for serious misconduct is a separate case, so get advice if that applies to you.
Can my employer deduct from my gratuity?
Yes. Article 54 lets the employer deduct amounts you owe it, such as an unpaid advance or loan. Ask for a written breakdown of your final settlement.
