The UAE has zero personal income tax — your gross salary is your net. Expats have no deductions from their salary whatsoever.
Basic salary matters most. Although your total package includes allowances, gratuity and overtime are calculated on basic salary only. A higher basic is always better for long-term benefits even if allowances look generous.
Gratuity accrues silently every month. For every month you work, you are accumulating approximately 1.75 days of basic salary as future gratuity. On AED 10,000 basic that's roughly AED 583 every month — a significant hidden benefit most expats underestimate.
