One salary, one service period, six different answers. Run the same numbers through the end-of-service rules of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain — side by side.
In short: the Gulf's six gratuity systems differ in three ways — the salary base (basic only vs full wage), the yearly rate, and whether resigning cuts the amount (only Saudi Arabia and Kuwait cut it). This tool applies each country's real formula to your figures so you can see the differences. Amounts are in the currency units you enter; each country would actually pay in its own currency.
| Country | Amount |
|---|---|
| UAE (Art. 51 — basic wage; 21 then 30 days) | — |
| Saudi Arabia (Arts. 84–85 — full last wage) | — |
| Qatar (Art. 54 — basic wage; 21 days minimum) | — |
| Kuwait (Arts. 51–53 — full wage; ÷ 26 method) | — |
| Oman (Art. 61 — basic wage; 2023 law split) | — |
| Bahrain (Art. 116 — basic + social allowance) | — |
Worked example (employer-ended): basic 10,000, total wage 15,000, 7 years → UAE 55,000 · Saudi Arabia 67,500 · Qatar 49,000 · Kuwait 73,269.23 · Oman 70,000 (if all service is under the 2023 law) · Bahrain 55,000. Switch the ending to "resigns" and only the Saudi (45,000) and Kuwait (48,846.15) figures fall.
It depends on your package. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait count allowances, so they often lead when allowances are large; the UAE's 30-days-per-year rate leads on basic-heavy packages after year five. Your own split decides it — that is what the table above is for.
Each labour law defines its own base: basic only (UAE, Qatar, Oman), last wage with fixed allowances (Saudi), full wage (Kuwait), basic plus social allowance (Bahrain).
Only as formulas. Real payouts are in six different currencies of very different value (the Kuwaiti dinar and Omani rial are worth far more per unit than the dirham or riyal). Use your country's dedicated calculator for the exact figure.
Only Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, on the scales shown above. The other four pay the same either way.
