About GulfPaycheck

Clear, accurate end-of-service and salary calculators for the people who need them most — the Gulf's expat workforce, working out what they're owed when they change jobs or head home.

Why this exists

There are plenty of single-country gratuity calculators online. Many are stale — still asking about "limited or unlimited" contracts under a law that was replaced in 2022 — and almost none cover the whole Gulf or show you where their numbers come from. Leaving a job, or a country, is stressful enough without guessing at the maths. GulfPaycheck is built to give you a number you can trust, and to show you exactly how it was reached.

How we verify

Every formula on this site is checked against the relevant labour law — the official text or a credible near-primary source — before any calculator goes live. We record the law, the article, the figures, and the date we last verified them in an internal accuracy ledger, and we print that "last verified" date on each tool. When a law changes, updating our calculators is the work — and we log those updates rather than quietly editing numbers.

Built to a standard

• Every figure cites its article, visible on the page.
• The calculation logic is tested against worked examples and edge cases, so boundaries like "exactly five years" behave correctly.
• Your inputs stay private — everything runs in your browser.
• One honest disclaimer, not a wall of legalese.

Who it's for

The Gulf's Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Egyptian and Western workers — anyone calculating a final settlement across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. We're rolling out country by country, verifying each before it's published. The UAE is live now.
