Saudi law uses the full wage: basic salary plus housing, transport and other regular allowances.

Result

Enter your numbers to see the result.

An estimate under the labour law. Your contract, company policy or a court decision can change what you receive. Check with the Ministry or an employment lawyer before you sign a settlement.

How to use it

  1. Enter your first and last working day.
  2. Enter your last monthly wage including housing, transport and other regular allowances.
  3. Choose how the job ended. The page applies the resignation fraction or the full-award exceptions for you.

The formula

Award = Wage × ½ × min(Years, 5) + Wage × max(Years − 5, 0)

Wage is the last monthly wage including allowances (Article 2). On resignation the award is multiplied by 0, ⅓, ⅔ or 1 depending on length of service (Article 85).

Worked example

You worked 8 years and your last wage was SAR 10,000 a month (basic plus allowances).

First 5 years: 5 × ½ × 10,000 = SAR 25,000. Next 3 years: 3 × 10,000 = SAR 30,000. Full award: SAR 55,000.

If you resigned, 8 years falls in the "over 5 and under 10 years" band, so you receive two thirds: SAR 36,666.67.

Assumptions

  • Part years are paid in proportion (Article 84).
  • Resignation bands: under 2 years nothing; 2 to 5 years one third; over 5 and under 10 years two thirds; 10 years or more the full award (Article 85).
  • Full award despite resignation: force majeure, or a woman ending her contract within 6 months of marriage or 3 months of giving birth (Article 87), or leaving because of the employer’s breach (Article 81).
  • The 2025 amendments changed how resignations are accepted but not the award rules in Articles 84–88.

Common mistakes

  • Calculating on basic salary alone. Article 2 defines the wage as the actual wage including allowances.
  • Forgetting that the resignation date fixes your length of service. Under the amended law, a resignation not answered within 30 days is deemed accepted.

Questions

What counts as "wage" for the award?

The actual wage: basic salary plus allowances and regular increases. Commissions and similar variable pay can be excluded if you agreed that in writing.

I resigned after exactly 5 years. One third or two thirds?

Article 85 gives one third for service of 2 years up to 5 years, and two thirds only for more than 5 years. At exactly 5 years, one third applies.
