Qatar end-of-service calculator
Your gratuity under Law 14 of 2004 — a flat three weeks of basic pay for every year, shown line by line.
Qatar keeps it simple: after one year, you earn 21 days of your basic wage for each year of service — the same rate whether you've been there two years or twenty.
How Qatar gratuity works (Law 14 of 2004)
Under Article 54, once you complete one year of continuous service you're entitled to end-of-service gratuity of at least three weeks (21 days) of your basic wage for every year. It's a flat rate — unlike Saudi Arabia or the UAE, Qatar doesn't pay a higher rate for longer service (though an employer is free to offer more).
Your daily wage is your basic monthly salary divided by 30, and gratuity is that daily wage times 21 times your years of service, with part-years paid pro-rata. There's no statutory cap. After a year, resigning doesn't reduce it; only a dismissal for cause under Article 61 can.
Worked example. Basic QAR 10,000 over 5 years: (10,000 ÷ 30) × 21 × 5 = QAR 35,000.

Questions people ask
How is gratuity calculated in Qatar?
Three weeks (21 days) of your basic wage for every year of service, after one year — the same rate for all years. A part-year is paid pro-rata.
Does Qatar pay more gratuity after 5 or 10 years?
No. Qatar's statutory rate is a flat 21 days per year regardless of tenure (Law 14 of 2004). An individual employer's contract may offer more, but the legal minimum doesn't increase with years.
Is Qatar gratuity based on basic or total salary?
The last basic wage only — allowances and bonuses are excluded.
Does resignation reduce my Qatar gratuity?
No. After completing a year, you keep your full gratuity whether you resign or your contract ends. A dismissal for cause under Article 61 can affect it, so seek advice if that applies.
