Qatar final settlement planner: gratuity, leave and notice
A Qatar final settlement can include more than this calculator’s three-line result.
This planner estimates Article 54 gratuity, Article 81 unused annual-leave pay and Article 49 notice compensation for Qatar Labour Law private-sector cases. It does not include final earned salary, overtime, bonuses, commissions, reimbursements or verified deductions, so treat the result as a three-line subtotal—not the official net settlement. Deductions, loans and visa costs are out of scope. This is not Metrash, not the Ministry, and not your HR file.
Calculate your estimate
Article 54 gratuity, unused leave and unserved notice in one estimate.
Every line is an estimate for planning. Nothing is filed, sent or saved by this page.
For the ordinary post-probation route described in the ILO worker guidance, notice is one month with two years or less of service and two months after more than two years. Compensation for unserved notice uses basic wage. Confirm the applicable route and official notice record; probation and exceptional cases need separate review.
When should final dues be paid?
Article 67 says wages and other sums are due before the end of the day after the contract ends. If a worker abandons work without the Article 49 notice, the employer instead has up to seven days from the abandonment date. This timing rule does not decide which disputed amounts are owed.

Check who owes the notice compensation
This planner adds a positive notice amount to employee dues. Enter notice days here only when that compensation is payable to you. If you owe compensation to the employer, enter 0 here and review that deduction separately; this planner does not calculate a signed net settlement.

How each line is worked out
Service years are the calendar days between your two dates divided by 365. Gratuity uses Article 54: after one completed year, last basic wage times 21/30 times service years (flat 21 days, not the UAE 21/30 split). For unused leave, this site uses basic wage divided by 30 as a planning convention. Articles 72 and 81 set the wage basis and the cash alternative for due leave days, but they do not print one universal daily divisor; confirm the daily treatment in your payroll record. Notice values each unserved day at basic wage/30 for the current post-probation route. These three estimated lines form a subtotal only; reconcile final earned wages, other contract amounts and lawful deductions separately.
Worked example
Basic QAR 8,000, notice basic wage QAR 8,000, 3 years 4 months (about 3.33 years), 5 unused leave days, 30 unserved notice days. Gratuity about 8,000 x 21/30 x 3.33 = QAR 18,667. Using this site’s basic/30 leave-planning convention, leave is about 5 x (8,000/30) = QAR 1,333; confirm the payroll daily treatment. Notice 30 x (8,000/30) = QAR 8,000. Three-line subtotal about QAR 28,000. Estimate only.

Common questions
Short answers for using this page responsibly.
Does this include loans or visa deductions?
No. The displayed result is a three-line subtotal, not a ceiling or a signed net settlement. Reconcile any final earned wage, overtime, bonus, commission, reimbursement and lawful deduction against the employer record.
Why is Qatar gratuity not 21 days then 30 days?
Article 54 is a flat three weeks (21 days) per year. The 21-then-30 pattern is UAE Article 51. Mixing them overstates a long Qatar service.
What if I served part of my notice?
Enter only the unserved days. Served days are not payable as pay in lieu.
Is this an official settlement?
No. It is an educational three-line planning subtotal, not an official or guaranteed minimum settlement. Confirm Al Meezan Articles 54, 49, 72 and 81, your payroll treatment and your contract before you sign.
