How Qatar end-of-service gratuity works
Qatar sets a floor rather than a fixed formula: at least three weeks (21 days) of basic salary for each year of service, paid once you've completed a year. Your daily wage is basic ÷ 30 and partial years count pro-rata. Many employers pay more under the contract, so treat this as the least you should receive.

What can change your Qatar gratuity
Estimate only — your contract and the employer's final calculation can differ. Rules reviewed Sep 2026.
This is the legal minimum. Check your contract — many Qatar employers offer a month per year or more.
Deductions for amounts you owe the employer can reduce the final payment.
At least three weeks of basic salary for every year of service, once you've completed one year. Daily wage is basic ÷ 30, so the minimum per year is 21 × (basic ÷ 30).
Is Qatar gratuity based on basic or gross salary?
+
Basic salary. Housing, transport and other allowances are not included in the minimum.
Do I get gratuity if I resign in Qatar?
+
Yes. The three-week minimum used here applies whether you resign or your employer ends the contract, as long as you've completed a year.
What if I worked less than one year?
+
No gratuity is due before one year of service.
Can my contract give me more than three weeks a year?
+
Yes. The law sets a minimum. If your contract promises more (for example 30 days a year), the contract figure applies.
