Terms of Use: Gulf Salary Tools and Expat Guides 2026

These terms apply to anyone reading or using Tax Free Salaries at https://taxfreesalaries.com, a site published by Radif Partners about pay, gratuity and employment contracts in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Using the site means accepting them; if they do not suit you, please leave it.

1. What the site is for

The salary index, the gratuity calculators, the package calculator, the salary converter and the guides are free to use for your own purposes: checking a job offer, preparing a salary negotiation, estimating what your end-of-service benefit should be under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Qatar's Labour Law No. 14 of 2004 or the Saudi Labour Law. You are welcome to link to any page, quote short passages with a link back, print a page for a meeting with HR, and embed the converter through the code on our widget page.

2. What is not allowed

• Republishing our salary ranges, profession pages or guides, in whole or in large part, on another site, in a report or in a paid product, without our written agreement.
• Harvesting the site with bots beyond what robots.txt allows, or loading it so heavily that other readers are slowed down.
• Probing for weaknesses, or trying to reach parts of the hosting that are not public.
• Presenting our figures as an official MOHRE, HRSD or Ministry of Labour statement, or using the Tax Free Salaries name to suggest that we endorse an employer, recruiter or adviser.

3. Who owns what

Labour laws, ministerial resolutions and official rates belong to the public. The way we explain them, the salary pages, the calculator code and interface, the illustrations and the selection of sources belong to Radif Partners.

4. How to read a calculator result

A calculator applies the statutory formula to the figures you enter; it cannot see your contract, your employer's internal policy, unpaid leave, a disputed termination or a free zone regime such as the DIFC or ADGM. Treat the result as the amount a standard contract should produce, then check it against your contract and, for a significant sum, with a lawyer or the relevant ministry. Your inputs are processed in your browser and are not sent to us, as explained in the privacy policy.

5. No guarantee

We publish the site as it stands. We do not promise that every page is online at every moment, that a salary range still matches the market on the day you read it, that a gratuity figure will equal what an employer, a labour court or a ministry finally pays, or that the site is free of technical faults. The limits of our content are set out in more detail in the disclaimer.

6. Liability

As far as the law allows, Radif Partners is not liable for indirect losses linked to the site, such as a salary accepted, a resignation timed or a settlement signed on the strength of a figure shown here, or for losses caused by the site being unavailable.

7. Links out

We link to ministries, labour courts, social insurance bodies and recruitment platforms because they are the primary sources. We do not run those sites, and a link is not a recommendation of the organisation behind it.

8. Changes, partial invalidity and disputes

We may revise these terms; the date above shows the latest version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it. If a court sets one clause aside, the rest still applies. A disagreement about the site should first be raised with us so that we can try to settle it; failing that, it goes before the competent courts under the applicable law.
