An estimate under the selected federal regime, not a guaranteed legal entitlement.
Read the formula and assumptions below before making a decision.
Unused Annual Leave Payout: 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 |
| Confirmed accrued unused leave days | 12 days |
Estimated unused leave payout: AED 3,200.00
- Daily basic wage estimate: AED 266.67
Before you use this estimate
Ask HR to confirm the eligible unused calendar-day balance. This termination estimate values that balance using basic wage; it does not calculate leave accrual.
Can I enter working-day leave from any employment regime?
No. This tool is scoped to the stated UAE federal private-sector termination estimate and confirmed calendar-day leave. Other regimes or leave bases need separate treatment.
