About

Go Home Early UAE is a small set of free calculators for employees in the UAE private sector: end-of-service gratuity, pay for unused annual leave and overtime. It is an independent project. It is not run by, endorsed by or connected with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), the UAE Government portal or any other government body.

Why this exists

The operator has handled pay, tax and payroll calculations for a small team firsthand. The calculators available gave different numbers for the same inputs and did not say where the numbers came from, so the figures had to be worked out again from the official text. This site publishes that working, with the article and the check date next to each number.

Rules come from the source

The gratuity, leave, overtime and notice rules come from Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 on the UAE Government portal. The Sources and rates page lists each rule, where it came from and the date it was last checked, and what could not be confirmed, including the Executive Regulation, which could not be opened.

Checked against a second implementation

The calculations are tested against hand calculations and an independent second implementation that agrees to the fil on every test case. No official worked example of the gratuity was found to test against. The site is not released with a failing test.

Updates

Labour rules can change by decree or by Cabinet resolution. When they do, the values and the checked dates are updated together. If you find an error, tell us.
