How gratuity estimates are calculated

A plain-English walkthrough for UAE household employers.

Inputs used

MaidShield uses start date, end date, basic monthly salary, and optional unpaid leave days to build an estimate.

It does not auto-detect your contract terms, bank records, allowances, or dispute outcomes.

How the estimate is structured

  • Service duration is derived from the dates entered.
  • Unpaid leave days reduce adjusted service days when provided.
  • The estimate is calculated from salary and adjusted service period.
  • A visible breakdown and assumptions list is shown with the result.

What to verify before final settlement

  • Contract dates and any amendments.
  • Which salary definition applies in your case.
  • Any unpaid leave evidence and approvals.
  • Records for pending salary, leave balance, and payment receipts.

Use this estimate as planning support, then confirm final figures with your records and advisors.
