How leave salary is calculated
UAE labour law commonly treats leave salary using a daily rate derived from monthly basic salary divided by 30, regardless of the actual number of calendar days in that month. Multiply that daily rate by the number of leave days owed (typically 30 calendar days of annual leave per full year of service, pro-rated for partial years) to get the total leave salary.
When this calculation is used
This applies both when an employee takes scheduled annual leave and is paid in advance, and when calculating unused leave balance owed at the end of employment alongside gratuity. Full and final settlement calculations typically combine unused leave salary with gratuity and any other dues.
Estimate only
Annual leave entitlement (commonly 30 calendar days per year after one year of service, pro-rated before that) and exact calculation methods can vary by contract and sector — confirm specifics against current MOHRE guidance or your employment contract.
