Everything You Need to Know About UAE Gratuity & Visa Fines
About UAE Gratuity (MOHRE Rules)
The "End of Service Gratuity" is a monetary benefit mandated by the UAE Labor Law for foreign employees. It acts as a thank-you for your service. Under the 2026 regulations, almost all employment contracts are classified as "Limited Contracts".
- Eligibility: You must complete at least 1 year of continuous service.
- Under 5 Years: Calculated as 21 days of basic salary for every year.
- Over 5 Years: Calculated as 30 days of basic salary for each additional year.
Note: The total gratuity cannot exceed the equivalent of two years' total salary.
Understanding Visa Fines (ICP & GDRFA)
Staying in the UAE after your visa expiration date leads to Dubai overstay penalties. The Federal Authority (ICP) has standardized these fines to simplify the process.
The Current Standard Fine: 50 AED per day
This applies to tourists, visit visa holders, and residents after their grace period ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Example Calculations
Example 1: 3 years of service, 10,000 AED basic salary
Daily rate: 10,000 / 30 = 333.33 AED
21 days × 333.33 AED × 3 years = 21,000 AED (Gratuity Pay)
Example 2: 15 days of visa overstay
15 days × 50 AED/day = 750 AED fine
How is daily wage calculated for gratuity?
Your daily wage is your Basic Salary divided by 30. Allowances (housing, transport, utilities) are NOT included in this calculation.
Does unpaid leave affect my gratuity?
Yes. According to MOHRE gratuity rules, any days of unpaid leave (absence without pay) are deducted from your total service period before the calculation is made.
How can I pay my visa fines in Dubai?
Fines can be paid at Amer centers, typing centers, or online via the ICP or GDRFA websites and apps. It is best to clear fines before arriving at the airport to avoid delays.
Is this calculator updated for 2026 rules?
Yes, our tool uses the official UAE rates: AED 200 for the first day of overstay plus AED 100 for each subsequent day, and the 21/30 day split for gratuity — both aligned with current UAE regulations.
