How end-of-service is calculated in Qatar
- You need at least one full year of service.
- The legal minimum is three weeks' basic salary for each year of service (Article 54). Your contract can give more.
- Uses your last basic salary. Allowances are excluded unless your contract says otherwise.
- This calculator values three weeks as 21/30 of a month (70% of monthly basic), the method most employers use. Part years count in proportion.
- Resigning doesn't reduce the gratuity.
- Dismissal under Article 61 for serious misconduct removes it.
