Compare two job offers
Basic salary isn't the whole story: housing, flights, family insurance, school fees, bonus, leave days, working hours, the commute, and end-of-service gratuity, which is calculated on basic only. Put the two offers side by side and see the real annual value, the value per hour, and the gratuity after 5 years.

Fuel is estimated at AED 0.6 per km (10 L/100 km). Gratuity: 21 days of basic per year for the first 5 years.
How to use it
- For each offer type the basic and allowances, or the value of provided housing, the number and price of flights, and insurance and school fees if the company pays them.
- Add the expected bonus, leave days, working days and hours, and commute minutes a day.
- Compare: annual value, the real hourly value (commute included), and end-of-service gratuity after 5 years.
Questions
Why is gratuity calculated on basic?
The labour law calculates it on the last basic wage: 21 days per year for the first five years and 30 days per year after that. An offer with a higher basic and lower allowances pays a bigger gratuity for the same gross.
How do I value company housing?
Type the rent of a similar home if you rented it yourself. If the other offer pays a housing allowance in cash, compare it with the rent you'd actually pay.
Why count the commute?
An hour on the road a day is 250 hours a year of your time and fuel. The tool adds commute time to working hours so the hourly value is honest, and deducts an estimated fuel cost from the value.
