How we verify every calculation
End-of-service money is a real decision, often made at a stressful moment. So every rule in every calculator is traced to a specific law article and checked against the government's own figures before it goes live. Here is exactly how.
01We cite the law, by article
Each calculator states the law it applies, by name, number and article, with a link to the issuing authority. The UAE calculator runs on Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Article 51. Saudi runs on Articles 84-85 of the Labour Law. We do not paraphrase the rate into a number and hope; the article is on the page so you can check it.
02We validate against the official calculators
Where a government or ministry publishes its own calculator (MOHRE in the UAE, Qiwa in Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Labour in Qatar), we run their worked examples through our engine and require the result to match to the last fil. If our number disagrees with the official number, we do not publish that country until it does.
03We version the rules by date
Labour laws change, and an answer that was right last year can be wrong today. Our engine knows which rules applied on which dates. The UAE distinguishes the pre- and post-February 2022 regimes. Bahrain switched to a contribution system in March 2024. Oman's 2023 law splits service before and after it took effect. A calculation records the rule version that produced it, so it stays reproducible even after the law moves on.
04We do the money math in whole units
Currency is computed in integer fils and halalas, never in floating-point decimals, because rounding errors are not acceptable in a number someone will take to their employer. Each line item is rounded once, the way the official calculators present them.
05We watch for changes, and we correct in the open
We monitor the labour ministries and social-insurance authorities for amendments. When a law changes, we publish a new dated rule set and flag the update. If you believe a result is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the source and fix it.
