Quick answer

On an AED 5,000 basic salary the daily wage is 5,000 ÷ 30 = AED 166.67. That gives roughly AED 3,500 after 1 year, AED 10,500 after 3 years, AED 17,500 after 5 years and AED 42,500 after 10 years — assuming AED 5,000 is your basic, not gross. These are estimates; confirm your exact figure with the calculator.

The daily wage for an AED 5,000 basic salary

Every gratuity figure starts from the daily wage, which is your monthly basic salary divided by 30:

Daily wage = 5,000 ÷ 30 = AED 166.67

Remember this only applies if AED 5,000 is your basic salary. If it is your total package, use the basic component instead — see basic vs gross salary.

Gratuity after 10 years

After five years the rate rises to 30 days per year (see gratuity after 5 years), so ten years combines both rates:

This is far below the two-year cap (AED 120,000 for this salary), so no capping applies.
