Struggling to understand gratuity calculations in the UAE

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around how gratuity is calculated in the UAE. I know it depends on things like basic salary, type of contract (limited vs unlimited), and whether it’s a resignation or termination. But in practice, the formulas can get pretty confusing — especially when partial entitlements apply.

I came across this online gratuity calculator UAE which seems to simplify the process quite a bit. Has anyone here used something similar, and did it match what HR actually paid you at the end of service?

Would really appreciate hearing others’ experiences with final settlements in Dubai/Abu Dhabi.
