The law sets a minimum of 3 weeks. Enter more if your contract gives more.

Unpaid absence is not counted as service.

How it is worked out

Part years count pro rata, so an extra six months adds half a year’s entitlement. Your numbers, step by step.

Is it taxed?

Qatar has no personal income tax on salaries, and the gratuity is paid without tax. Qatari nationals are usually covered by the state pension scheme instead.

Questions people ask

How is it worked out?

At least three weeks’ basic wage for every year of service once you have completed a year, with part years counted pro rata. The daily wage is commonly the monthly basic salary × 12 ÷ 365; some employers divide by 30 instead, which gives about 1.4% more.

Does resigning reduce it?

No. The legal minimum is the same whether you resign or your employer ends the contract, as long as you have worked at least a year. Your employer may deduct amounts you owe them.

Can my contract give more?

Yes. Three weeks is a floor, and many contracts give four weeks or a full month per year. Enter your contract’s number of weeks to see the difference; a month is about 4.3 weeks.
