Yes, for expatriates. Qatar has no personal income tax on employment salaries for Qatari nationals or expatriates, so a Android Developer earning the median QAR19K/mo takes home the full QAR 228,000 per year (QAR 19,000 per month) as an expatriate.

Gratuity is a lump sum your employer owes on exit under Article 54 of Qatar Labour Law, based on basic salary and years of service: three weeks' basic wage per year for the first 5 years, then four weeks' basic wage per year after that, uncapped. Assuming a typical 70% basic-salary split on the QAR19K/mo median, a Android Developer would build up approximately QAR 46,550 by year 5 and QAR 108,617 by year 10.
