Welcome to CalcUAE — your free financial calculator hub built
specifically for the UAE.
Today we're breaking down one of the most searched topics
among UAE expats and residents: how to calculate your salary
in the UAE — including basic pay, allowances, and what
actually hits your bank account.
If you're working in the UAE, your salary package typically
has three components: basic salary, housing allowance, and
transport allowance. Understanding how these are split matters
— because your end-of-service gratuity is calculated only on
your basic salary, not the total package.
Here's a simple example. If your total package is AED 10,000
per month, with AED 5,000 basic, AED 3,000 housing, and
AED 2,000 transport — your gratuity after one year would be
based on AED 5,000, not ten thousand. That's a significant
difference most people miss.
