The rule in brief
Qatar end-of-service gratuity is at least three weeks (21 days) of basic salary per year of service, payable after one completed year, whether the contract ends by resignation or termination (Article 54, Qatar Labour Law No. 14 of 2004). Contracts may provide more.
How the Qatar gratuity calculation works
Under Article 54 of Qatar Labour Law No. 14 of 2004, private-sector employees who complete at least one year of continuous service are entitled to an end-of-service gratuity of not less than three weeks’ basic wage for each year of service. Employment contracts can agree a higher rate.
- Each year of service: at least 21 days (three weeks) of basic salary.
- Daily wage: basic monthly salary ÷ 30.
- Resignation vs termination: the same minimum applies to both.
- Upper limit: the law sets a minimum, not a maximum. Confirm any cap in your contract.
- Excluded: housing, transport and other allowances.
Worked example
An employee on QAR 6,000 basic monthly salary with 5 years of service:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily wage | QAR 6,000 ÷ 30 = QAR 200 |
| Days owed | 21 × 5 years = 105 days |
| Gratuity | 105 × QAR 200 = QAR 21,000 |
