Saudi End-of-Service Award Calculator
Enter your last monthly wage, service dates and why the contract ended to calculate your award under the Saudi Labor Law.
An estimate based on the law's text; the final figure is set by the employer or the labour court.
How the award is calculated (Article 84)
When employment ends, the employer pays an award of half a month's wage for each of the first five years and a full month's wage for each year after, based on the last wage. Parts of a year count in proportion to the time worked.
| Service | Last wage | Full award |
|---|---|---|
| 5 years | SAR 10,000 | SAR 25,000 |
| 7 years | SAR 10,000 | 25,000 + 20,000 = SAR 45,000 |
| 5 years | SAR 25,000 | SAR 62,500 |
If you resign (Article 85)
| Service | Share of the award |
|---|---|
| Under 2 years | Nothing |
| 2 to 5 years | One third |
| More than 5, under 10 years | Two thirds |
| 10 years or more | Full award |
When resignation still earns the full award (Article 87)
The full award is due if the worker leaves because of force majeure beyond their control, or if a female worker ends the contract within six months of marriage or three months of giving birth.
When no award is due
When the contract is terminated under Article 80 (cases where the employer may end it without an award).
Which wage, and when it is paid
The award uses the last actual wage (basic plus fixed allowances such as housing) unless the contract says otherwise. It must be paid within one week of the end of employment, or two weeks if the worker ended the contract (Article 88). The Labor Law amendments in force since 19 February 2025 did not change Articles 84 to 88.
