1. What is Qatar End of Service Gratuity?

Qatar End of Service Gratuity is a legal entitlement for employees who complete one year or more of continuous service. It is calculated based on the employee's basic salary and years of service according to Qatar Labor Law.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Qatar gratuity formula:

Where:

• \( Basic Salary \) — Monthly basic salary in Qatari Riyals
• \( \frac{21}{30} \) — Gratuity factor (21 days per year)
• \( Years \) — Total years of service

Explanation: The formula calculates gratuity based on 21 days' basic salary for each year of service, prorated for partial years.

3. Importance of Gratuity Calculation

Details: Accurate gratuity calculation ensures employees receive their legal entitlements upon termination of employment and helps employers comply with Qatar Labor Law requirements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter basic salary in QAR/month and years of service in years. Both values must be positive numbers. Partial years can be entered as decimals.
