1. What is Sharjah Gratuity Calculation?

The Sharjah gratuity calculation determines the end-of-service benefit for employees in Sharjah, UAE. It's based on the employee's final salary and years of service, with different rates for the first 5 years and subsequent years.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Sharjah gratuity formula:

Where:

• \( Salary \) — Basic monthly salary in AED
• \( First 5 Years \) — Years of service up to 5 years (minimum 21 days per year)
• \( Years After 5 \) — Years of service beyond 5 years (30 days per year)

Explanation: The calculation converts monthly salary to daily rate (dividing by 30), then multiplies by the applicable days per year of service.

3. Importance of Gratuity Calculation

Details: Gratuity is a legal right for employees in Sharjah who complete at least 1 year of continuous service. Accurate calculation ensures proper compensation upon termination of employment.

4. Using the Calculator
