UAE Notice Period Calculator
Estimate compensation for an unserved contractual notice period.
Ordinary post-probation termination under UAE federal private-sector law only. Contractual notice is generally 30–90 days. Payment direction depends on who fails to serve and any valid agreement; this does not decide who owes whom. Excludes probation, special termination grounds, DIFC and ADGM.
Confirm eligibility to see your estimate
An estimate under the selected federal regime, not a guaranteed legal entitlement.
Read the formula and assumptions below before making a decision.
UAE Notice Period: 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 |
|---|---|
| Last full monthly wage (AED) | AED 12,000.00 |
| Contractual notice days | 30 days |
| Notice days served | 0 days |
Estimated unserved notice compensation: AED 12,000.00
- Unserved days: 30 days
Before you use this estimate
Use the last full monthly wage and the contractual post-probation notice period. Enter days actually served; this tool estimates compensation, not a termination date.
Does the estimate decide who must pay notice compensation?
No. It values the entered unserved period. Payment direction and entitlement depend on the circumstances, contract and applicable law.
How the calculation works
Assumptions & limitations
Ordinary post-probation termination under UAE federal private-sector law only. Contractual notice is generally 30–90 days. Payment direction depends on who fails to serve and any valid agreement; this does not decide who owes whom. Excludes probation, special termination grounds, DIFC and ADGM.
Use the result thoughtfully
Try a second scenario to see how a change in costs, timing or contributions affects the result. Keep all amounts in one currency and use consistent periods. Confirm important figures against your own records before acting.
