How Do I Calculate My End-of-Service Benefits in the UAE?

A comprehensive UAE end-of-service benefits package is computed by adding together all earned terminal entitlements and subtracting lawful deductions:

Note: Under Article 53 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, employers are legally required to disburse this complete sum within 14 calendar days of your contract severance date.
