Qatar Final Settlement Calculator
Add up everything you are owed when your job in Qatar ends: salary still due, gratuity, unused leave, notice pay and other dues, minus anything you owe.
Without housing, transport or other allowances.
Basic plus all fixed allowances.
Leave you earned but did not take. Qatar gives at least 21 days a year, or 28 from 5 years of service.
Leave blank to work it out from your last working day. Type 0 if that month is already paid.
Leave the notice blank to use one month for up to 2 years of service, two months after.
The law gives at least 21 days' basic a year (3 weeks). Your contract can give more, but not less.
Days of unpaid absence do not count as service. A month counts as 30 days.
Paid on basic ÷ 30 ÷ hours a day: + 25% for overtime, + 50% at night, + 150% on Fridays and holidays, as in the Qatar overtime calculator.
Type the rate you get: how many of that currency you get for 1 QAR.
How your final settlement is worked out
Salary still owed, gratuity, unused leave and other dues, minus anything you owe.
- 1
Last month's salary
8,000 ÷ 30 × 30
= QAR 8,000.00 - 2
Gratuity
5.5 × 21 × 200
= QAR 23,100.00 - 3
Unused leave
10 × 6,000 ÷ 30
= QAR 2,000.00 - 4
Add it all up
+ 0.00 − 0.00
= QAR 33,100.00

When a private-sector job in Qatar ends, your employer pays a final settlement. Under Labour Law No. 14 of 2004 it usually has these parts:
- Salary still owed for the days you worked in your last month, at your total salary ÷ 30 a day
- End-of-service gratuity (Article 54): at least 3 weeks' (21 days') basic wage for each year of service, once you have one year, with part years paid in proportion
- Unused annual leave paid in cash on your basic wage ÷ 30 for each day (Article 81)
- Notice pay on full monthly pay ÷ 30 a day, when the notice was not given or worked in full
- Other dues such as unpaid overtime, a bonus or the ticket home in your contract
- minus money you owe, such as loans or salary advances
The formula
salary owed = total salary ÷ 30 × days worked in the last month
gratuity = basic ÷ 30 × 21 × years of service (after 1 year)
unused leave = basic ÷ 30 × unused days
notice pay = total salary ÷ 30 × notice days not given
final settlement = salary owed + gratuity + unused leave + notice pay + overtime + other dues − money you owe
Worked example
You worked from 1 March 2020 to 31 August 2025, which is 5 years and 6 months, or 5.5 years. Your basic salary is QAR 6,000 and your total salary QAR 8,000 a month. You have 10 days of unused leave.
- Salary owed. 31 August is the last day of the month, so you are owed a full month: 8,000 ÷ 30 × 30 = QAR 8,000.
- Gratuity. The daily basic wage is 6,000 ÷ 30 = QAR 200. 200 × 21 = QAR 4,200 a year, and 4,200 × 5.5 = QAR 23,100.
- Unused leave. 10 × 6,000 ÷ 30 = QAR 2,000.
- Total. 8,000 + 23,100 + 2,000 = QAR 33,100.
With 5.5 years of service the notice is two months, or 60 days. If your employer had ended the contract and given you only 20 days' notice, it would add 40 × 8,000 ÷ 30 = QAR 10,666.67 of notice pay, making QAR 43,766.67. If you had resigned and left with no notice, 60 × 8,000 ÷ 30 = QAR 16,000 could be taken off instead, leaving QAR 17,100.
Days worked in the last month
The calculator counts the day of the month of your last working day. If your last working day is the last day of its month, it counts a full month of 30 days, because the daily rate is monthly salary ÷ 30. If you joined in the same month, only the days from joining count. Type 0 if your last month's salary has already been paid.
Notice and who ended the contract
| Service | Notice |
|---|---|
| Up to 2 years | 1 month (30 days) |
| More than 2 years | 2 months (60 days) |
| Who ended it | Notice not given or worked | In this calculator |
|---|---|---|
| Your employer | Your employer pays you for the missing days | Added |
| You resigned | Pay for the missing days can be taken off | Taken off |
| Both agreed | Usually as you agreed in writing | Not counted |
Resigning does not reduce the gratuity in Qatar, as long as you give the proper notice. Who pays for missed notice is shown here as most contracts apply it. Special cases, such as dismissal for misconduct or leaving during probation, follow their own rules, so check the Ministry of Labour rules for your case.
When you should be paid
This calculator does not give a payment deadline. Check the Ministry of Labour rules and your contract for when your final settlement must be paid. If it is not paid, you can raise a complaint with Qatar's Ministry of Labour.
Good to know
- Under one year of service there is no gratuity, but salary owed and unused leave are still paid.
- Annual leave is at least 21 days a year for under 5 years of service and 28 days from 5 years (Article 79). Use the Qatar leave salary calculator to work out your balance.
- The Qatari riyal is fixed to the US dollar at 3.64 QAR per USD.

Common questions
What is included in a final settlement in Qatar?
Your final settlement adds up everything your employer still owes you when the job ends: salary for the days you worked in your last month, your end-of-service gratuity, pay for annual leave you earned but did not take, notice pay if you were told to stop work without working your notice, and any other dues such as unpaid overtime, a bonus or the ticket home your contract promises. Loans and salary advances you still owe can be taken off.
How is the final settlement calculated in Qatar?
Salary owed is your total monthly salary ÷ 30 × the days worked in the last month. Gratuity is at least 21 days of basic wage (basic ÷ 30) for each year of service, once you have one year, with part years paid in proportion. Unused leave is paid on basic ÷ 30 for each day. Notice pay is full monthly pay ÷ 30 for each day of notice not given. Add these, plus other dues, and subtract anything you owe.
Is unused leave in the final settlement paid on basic or total salary in Qatar?
On basic salary. Article 81 of Labour Law No. 14 of 2004 says leave you did not take is paid in cash when the job ends, on the basic wage. So 10 unused days on a basic of QAR 6,000 is 10 × 6,000 ÷ 30 = QAR 2,000.
How long is the notice period in Qatar?
Since the 2020 changes (Law No. 18 of 2020), notice is one month for up to two years of service and two months after that. Your contract may set it out in more detail. Check your contract and the Ministry of Labour rules before you hand in your notice.
When must my employer pay my final settlement in Qatar?
This calculator does not give a deadline. Check the Ministry of Labour rules and your contract for when your final settlement must be paid. If you are not paid, you can raise a complaint with Qatar’s Ministry of Labour.
