End-of-service gratuity calculator for Qatar

When your job ends in Qatar after at least a year, your employer owes you an end-of-service gratuity on top of anything else due.

Enter your last basic salary and your years of service to see the amount.

How it's calculated

The gratuity is at least 3 weeks of basic salary for each year of service. Your contract can give more, never less.
Part of a year counts in proportion, once you've completed 1 year of continuous service.
The base is your last basic salary, without allowances. The law doesn't say how to turn it into a weekly amount, so choose the method in your contract.

An example

With a last basic salary of QAR 8,000 and 6.5 years of service, the minimum is 19.5 weeks. With the ÷ 30 × 7 method that comes to QAR 36,400.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get a gratuity if I resign?

Yes. Article 54 gives the gratuity to any worker with a year or more of service when the job ends. It's only lost if you're dismissed for one of the serious reasons in Article 61.

Are allowances included in the gratuity?

No. The law uses your last basic salary, so housing, transport and other allowances don't count.

Can my employer deduct anything from it?

Yes. The employer can deduct amounts you owe it.

What if I'm rehired soon after leaving?

Your service counts as continuous if you're taken back within two months, unless you were dismissed under Article 61.
