UAE Final Settlement: worked example
This is an illustrative scenario using the default inputs, not your personal result. It assumes the stated federal employment scope and eligibility conditions apply.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Monthly basic salary (AED) | AED 8,000.00 |
| Eligible service in years | 5.5 years |
| Unpaid earned salary (AED) | AED 5,000.00 |
| Accrued unused leave days | 10 days |
| Agreed notice compensation payable to you | AED 0.00 |
| Other amounts payable to you | AED 0.00 |
| Verified lawful deductions | AED 0.00 |
Estimated final settlement: AED 39,666.67
- Traditional gratuity: AED 32,000.00
- Unused leave estimate: AED 2,666.67
Before you use this estimate
Reconcile earned wages, confirmed unused leave, eligible gratuity and any agreed notice compensation separately. Only enter verified lawful deductions.
Is every final settlement just salary plus gratuity?
No. The components depend on records and the applicable regime. This estimate includes the amounts you enter; it does not decide disputed deductions or whether notice compensation is due.
