Daily basic wage: 13,200 ÷ 30 = AED 440.
- Full 60-day buyout: 60 × 440 = AED 26,400
Partial Buyout Scenario
If instead the employee works 20 of the 60 days and buys out the remaining 40, only those 40 days are paid: 40 × 440 = AED 17,600 — the buyout calculation applies only to the days not actually worked, not the full notice period length regardless of partial service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the full buyout cost for a 60-day notice period at AED 13,200 basic salary?
AED 26,400 (60 days × AED 440 daily wage).
What if only part of the notice period is bought out?
Only the unworked days are paid for — in this example, buying out 40 of the 60 days costs AED 17,600.
Does this use basic or gross salary?
Basic salary, consistent with other UAE settlement calculations.
Is a partial buyout always an option?
This depends on mutual agreement between employer and employee — it's not an automatic entitlement for either side.
