Questions
What does an employee really cost in the UAE?
More than the salary. On top of basic and allowances, employers set aside money every month for annual leave, the yearly air ticket if the contract gives one, end of service gratuity, and costs such as visas and medical insurance.
Why are visa and insurance costs left blank?
They vary a lot by emirate, free zone, job title and insurance plan. Type your own yearly figures per employee for an accurate total.
How is the gratuity accrual worked out?
The calculator sets aside 21 days of basic wage a year (30 days once average service passes five years), using basic ÷ 30 as the daily wage, the same rule as our gratuity calculator.
Does this replace a payroll system?
No. It is a planning estimate for a whole team. A payroll system works this out per employee from real contracts, attendance and leave, every month.

Our payroll systems keep leave, tickets and gratuity accrued for each person, so the owners always see the real numbers.
