Hey everyone!
I recently started exploring small projects to improve my coding basics and ended up creating a simple UAE Gratuity Calculator!
The goal was to build something practical while learning logic, user input handling, and basic backend structure. The calculator estimates end-of-service gratuity based on UAE labor rules taking in salary, years of service, and contract type.
Here’s a small part of the logic I used in Python
def calculate_gratuity(salary, years, contract_type):
if contract_type.lower() == "limited":
gratuity = salary * 21/30 * years # 21 days per year
else:
gratuity = salary * 30/30 * years # 30 days per year (for unlimited)
return round(gratuity, 2)
Example:
basic_salary = 5000
years_worked = 3
contract = "limited"
result = calculate_gratuity(basic_salary, years_worked, contract)
print(f"Estimated Gratuity: AED {result}")
It was amazing to see how just a few lines of code could replicate a real HR function. I also learned how to test and improve input validation to prevent calculation errors.
Now I’m curious what kind of small tools or calculators have you built while learning? Would love to see other beginner projects like this!

Great project! I really like how you started small by building a gratuity calculator it’s a solid way to learn coding basics without getting overwhelmed. If you ever expand into building web apps, pairing your code skills with Digital Marketing Dubai could help your projects get more visibility once they’re live.
That's awesome! I love how you’ve created a practical tool like the UAE Gratuity Calculator while learning the basics of coding. It reminds me of when I was first learning to code and created small tools like a gratuity calculation uae to understand real-world applications of programming. It’s a great way to learn logic and handle user input effectively. This type of project not only helps with coding but also gives insight into important things like gratuity calculations under UAE labor law. It's great to see other beginner projects that help build both skills and practical knowledge!
That’s awesome! I can totally relate to the feeling of building something practical while learning. I recently came across iCalculadoraOnline, and it’s a great resource for exploring different kinds of calculators. They’ve compiled a large selection of tools in one place, so whether you're a student, a health-conscious individual, or someone curious like me, you can find something to help with learning and problem-solving. It's like having an entire toolbox of calculators at your fingertips, which makes it easier to get inspired and experiment with new ideas! Keep it up!
