Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to the questions people usually ask before using the salary, gratuity, leave, notice, and offer-check tools.
Before you use the calculators
Have your contract, salary split, service dates, leave balance, and notice clause nearby. A calculator is more useful when the numbers come from real documents rather than memory.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this site before asking HR?
Yes. It is useful for preparing questions, but HR or payroll still gives the employer's official calculation.
Is the site part of the UAE government?
No. Salary Guide UAE is independent and should not be treated as MOHRE or any free zone authority.
Which tool should I open first?
For an offer, open the salary calculator. For resignation or termination, open the gratuity calculator first.
Why does my result differ from payroll?
Payroll may use contract terms, policy rules, unpaid leave, deductions, or a different salary basis.
