Qatar keeps its end-of-service gratuity refreshingly straightforward: a flat rate of at least three weeks’ wage for every year you work. The rule lives in Article 54 of Law No. 14 of 2004, and it applies once you complete a year of service.
Here is how to turn your monthly salary into a gratuity figure.
The statutory minimum is three weeks’ basic wage for each year of service. To get a weekly wage from a monthly salary, multiply by 12 and divide by 52, then multiply by three for each year.
On a QAR 10,000 monthly wage, the weekly wage is about QAR 2,308. Three weeks is roughly QAR 6,923 per year, so five years is around QAR 34,615 and ten years about QAR 69,231.
Three weeks is the floor, not the ceiling. Many Qatar contracts grant a full month per year or more. If yours does, use the higher rate in the calculator to see your actual entitlement.
