Special conditions & assumptions

Total monthly wage (for the cap)

Basic wage plus applicable allowances. If left blank, we assume it equals basic salary. This field does not change the daily calculation rate.

How to count the last date

Two-year cap basis

The law says “two years’ wage”; practice and published tools differ on the cap base. Both assumptions are shown explicitly. If the cap affects your result, confirm the applicable wage with your adviser.

For foreign full-time employees paid monthly, under the federal private-sector law, including free zones governed by that law. One continuous employment relationship. Other regimes have their own rules.

Use the basic component on your contract or payslip, excluding allowances. Variable pay or a disputed basic wage needs individual review.

Enter the total qualifying days from your employment records. Do not deduct paid or half-paid leave. Ask HR to confirm treatment of special leave.
