Using JAFZA End of Service Calculator
The End of Service Calculator for JAFZA is an online tool designed to provide an estimate of the gratuity payments to which employees are entitled upon leaving the company.
To use the calculator, employees must input their name, joining date, end date, and basic salary.
While the calculator provides a rough estimate, the final gratuity amount must be verified and approved by the JAFZA Labour Affairs section.
Gratuity Calculation Breakdown
JAFZA follows specific guidelines for calculating gratuity based on the number of years worked. For the first five years of service, employees are entitled to 21 days of basic salary for each year worked.
After the first five years, employees receive 30 days of basic salary for each additional year worked.
However, the total gratuity payment cannot exceed two years of the employee’s basic salary, regardless of the length of service.
Example of Gratuity Calculation
Let’s consider an example:
Basic Salary: AED 12,000
Joining Date: March 1, 2016
End Date: March 1, 2023 (7 years of service).
For the first 5 years:
5 years × 21 days × AED 12,000 ÷ 30 = AED 42,000
For the next 2 years (after 5 years):
2 years × 30 days × AED 12,000 ÷ 30 = AED 24,000
Total gratuity: AED 42,000 + AED 24,000 = AED 66,000.
However, since the gratuity cannot exceed two years’ basic salary:
2 years × AED 12,000 × 30 = AED 72,000.
In this case, the employee’s gratuity would be AED 66,000, which is under the maximum limit of AED 72,000.
