Qatar Gratuity Calculator (2026): End-of-Service Benefit
Private-sector workers in Qatar who complete at least one year with the same employer are owed an end-of-service gratuity. The law sets a minimum of three weeks' basic salary for each year of service — your contract may promise more. Enter your details to see your figure.
Based on Article 54 of the Qatar Labour Law (Law No. 14 of 2004): at least three weeks of the last basic salary for each year of service, part years in proportion. A day's wage is taken as basic salary ÷ 30. Resigning doesn't reduce it; dismissal under Article 61 can remove it. Government employees and some domestic workers follow other rules — confirm with your employer or the Ministry of Labour.
How the calculator works
- The gratuity is at least three weeks (21 days) of your last basic salary for each year of service. Part years count in proportion.
- Allowances such as housing and transport are not included unless your contract says so. A day is taken as basic salary ÷ 30.
- Resigning doesn't reduce the gratuity. It can be lost only on dismissal for serious misconduct under Article 61, after the legal procedure.
