Scope of this calculator

Scope in

  • ILOE scheme eligibility and monthly benefit estimates for subscribed private-sector and free-zone employees.
  • Basic salary category A or B and subscription status you enter.
  • Claim-window timing from your termination date.

Scope out

  • Investors, domestic workers, under-18s and retirees receiving a pension.
  • Resignation and dismissal for disciplinary reasons.
  • Final claim approval, which the insurer decides.

Worked example

Example only: basic salary AED 12,000 in the higher category with involuntary loss of job and at least 12 months of subscription indicates a benefit of 60 percent of average basic salary, capped by the scheme ceiling, for up to three months.

How this calculator works

Estimated monthly compensation = 60% of average basic salary over the six months before job loss, capped by the selected official ILOE category at AED 10,000 (A) or AED 20,000 (B), for up to three consecutive months. The tool also screens key published eligibility conditions but does not decide a claim.
