End of Service Gratuity: Qatar Gratuity Calculator

According to the Labour Law of Qatar, the End of Service Gratuity (EOSG) is a mandatory payment or benefit from the employer to the employee. This payment serves as a reward for the employee's dedicated service.

The final amount of the service gratuity is primarily determined by:

1. Duration of Service: The total time you worked for the company.
2. Basic Salary: The last drawn basic wage.
3. Qatar Labour Law: Which sets the minimum payment standard.

The end of service gratuity an employee receives depends directly on the number of years they worked. This article provides a breakdown of the calculation and the key legal conditions for receiving this entitlement.

When an Employee is Qualified for Gratuity Payment?

Employees become legally eligible for the End of Service Gratuity upon the termination or end of their employment contract, provided they meet one crucial criterion:

• The worker must have completed at least one (1) full year of continuous service or more in the company.

According to Article 54 of the Labour Law, if this minimum service period is met, the company is legally required to pay the gratuity amount. This entitlement applies whether the worker resigns or is terminated (unless the termination is for specific acts of gross misconduct as detailed in Article 61).

How to calculate Qatar End of Service Gratuity in 2025?

The calculation method is simple and relies on the minimum statutory requirement defined by the law.

The calculator uses the following inputs and steps:

Sample Calculation of Gratuity in Qatar

Let's use an example to illustrate the calculation. Suppose an employee works for 5 years with a Last Basic Monthly Salary of QAR 6,000.

Factor	Value	Calculation
Basic Monthly Salary	QAR 6,000	N/A
Daily Basic Salary	QAR $6,000 / 30$	QAR 200.00
Gratuity Days per Year	21 days	N/A
Annual Gratuity Amount	QAR $200 \times 21$	QAR 4,200.00
Total Years of Service	5 Years	N/A
Total Gratuity Payable	QAR $4,200 \times 5$	QAR 21,000.00

By entering all the information into the Qatar Gratuity Calculator, you can get your gratuity amount easily and accurately.

Hence both ways to find gratuity are here—manual calculation or using the automated tool.

End of Service Gratuity according to Labour Law

The main law governing this condition is Labour Law No. 14 of 2004. The payment is ensured even if the contract is terminated early by the worker, provided the termination is for a valid reason as outlined in the law (Article 51).

The worker may terminate the employment contract before its expiry date and retain full gratuity rights in cases such as:

• The employer or their representative misinforms the worker during the contract signing regarding terms and conditions.
• The employer or their staff commits physical assault or an immoral action against the worker or their family members.
• Continuing work endangers the safety and health of the worker, and the employer is aware but fails to take necessary steps to remove the danger.
• The employer commits a breach of the service contract and the provisions of the Labour Law.

If the worker's service is one year or more, they are entitled to a minimum of 21 days' gratuity per year in these and most other termination cases.

Transport Pay by Employer after termination

Upon the termination of a non-Qatari worker's service, the employer is responsible for bearing the cost and all the expenses of the worker's return to the place from which they were hired.

Condition	Employer's Obligation
Standard Repatriation	Employer shall complete the procedure to send back the non-Qatari worker within a period not exceeding two weeks from the contract expiry or termination date.
Worker Joins New Employer	If the worker joins another employer before departing the State, the responsibility to send the worker back to their country shifts to the latter employer.
Death of Worker	The employer shall bear the expenses and transport of the deceased worker's body to their home country or place of residence, if requested by the relatives.
Employer Fails to Act	If the employer does not send the employee or their body, the competent department (Ministry of Labour) may arrange the return on the employer's behalf, and the cost will be recovered from the employer.

Duration of the Contract

An employment contract can be for a limited time (fixed-term) or an indefinite duration (unlimited).

• A fixed-term contract may not be longer than five years initially, but it can be renewed from time to time as agreed upon by both parties.
• If a fixed-term contract is not formally renewed, yet both parties continue the working relationship after its expiry, the contract is automatically considered renewed for an indefinite duration under the same previous terms.
• In all cases, the employee's period of service starts from the original joining date for the purpose of calculating entitlements like gratuity.

Gratuity of Qatar Labour Law After 5 Years and 10 Years

A common misconception is that the legal minimum gratuity rate automatically increases after five or ten years of service.

The current and updated minimum standard, as per Article 54 of Law No. 14 of 2004, is:

• The employer shall pay a gratuity that is not less than a three-week wage (21 days) for every year of employment.

The rule previously stating that the gratuity increases to four or five weeks after 5 or 10 years is not the current minimum statutory requirement. If an employee receives a higher rate (e.g., 30 days per year), it is due to a more generous term stipulated in their individual employment contract, not a general increase in the minimum legal requirement.

Service Duration	Minimum Gratuity Rate per Year
1 to 5 Years	21 Days Basic Salary
5 to 10 Years	21 Days Basic Salary
Over 10 Years	21 Days Basic Salary

Vacation Pay

Article 81 of the Labour Law explains the entitlement regarding annual leave upon termination:

• If a worker's service is terminated for any reason, they are entitled to take any remaining accrued annual leave or receive cash payment instead of that leave.
• This payment in lieu of leave is calculated based on the employee's full wage (basic salary plus allowances, if any) for the number of days of unused annual leave.

Can an employer terminate the employee without paying End of Service Gratuity?

An employer can terminate the employment contract without notice and without paying the End of Service Gratuity if the worker commits any of the serious violations listed in Article 61 of the Labour Law.

The primary situations include:

• If a worker shows fake identities, nationality, or documents.
• If the worker commits an act that results in significant financial loss to the employer, provided the employer informs the department within 24 hours of the incident.
• If a worker is fully sentenced in a crime or immorality.
• If a worker is absent from work without any acceptable reason for more than seven (7) consecutive days or fifteen (15) days in a year.
• If the worker assaults the employer, manager, or any worker during work.
• The worker discloses the secrets of the establishment or company where they are working.
• If a worker fails to carry out his work despite repeated warnings, as per the employment contract.
