What Is Qatar End of Service Gratuity?
End of service gratuity is a lump-sum payment your employer must pay when your employment ends. It rewards you for the time you worked for the company and is paid on top of your final salary, unused annual leave and any other dues.
The rules come from Article 54 of Qatar Labour Law No. 14 of 2004. It applies to private-sector workers covered by the Labour Law, which includes most expatriate employees in Qatar.
Who Is Eligible for End of Service Benefits in Qatar?
- At least one year of service. You must complete one full year of continuous service with the same employer.
- Covered by the Labour Law. Private-sector employees. Domestic workers are covered by a separate law, and Qatari nationals usually fall under the social insurance and pension system instead.
- Not dismissed for gross misconduct. A worker dismissed without notice under Article 61 for serious misconduct loses the right to gratuity.
Gratuity is generally payable whether your contract ends, you are terminated or you resign, as long as you meet the conditions above.
How the Qatar End of Service Calculator Works
Qatar law sets a minimum of three weeks of basic salary for each year of service. Your employment contract can give you more, but never less. The calculation has three steps:
Daily basic wage
Divide your last basic monthly salary by 30.
One year's gratuity
Multiply the daily wage by 21 days (three weeks).
Years of service
Multiply by your total years, including any partial year.
The formula
Gratuity = (Basic salary ÷ 30) × 21 × Years of service

Things That Can Change Your Gratuity
- Your contract. Many contracts give 4 weeks or a full month per year. Select that option in the calculator if it applies to you.
- Unpaid leave. Days of unpaid leave are usually not counted as service. Paid annual, sick and maternity leave are counted.
- Money you owe your employer. The employer may deduct amounts you legally owe, such as an unpaid loan or salary advance.
- Company pension or savings scheme. If your employer's scheme pays more than the legal gratuity, you may receive that instead of, not in addition to, the gratuity.
