- Gratuity Calculation: End of service benefits are calculated based on basic salary only, not total package
- Negotiation: Higher basic salary = higher gratuity and pension contributions
- Benefits: Some companies tie bonuses and increments to basic salary
- Loans: Banks often consider basic salary for loan eligibility
Typical Salary Structure in UAE/GCC:
- Basic Salary: 40-60% of total package
- Housing Allowance: 20-30% (sometimes provided as accommodation)
- Transport Allowance: 5-15% (or company vehicle)

Pro Tip:
When negotiating your salary, try to maximize your basic salary percentage within the total package. A higher basic means higher gratuity, which can add up to significant amounts over years of service.
