Saudi End of Service Benefit Calculator

How it works

Full award = ½ month × years (first 5) + 1 month × years (after 5). Resignation: 0 (< 2 yrs), ⅓ (2–5 yrs), ⅔ (5–10 yrs), full (10+ yrs)

Saudi Labour Law obliges employers to pay an end-of-service award when employment ends: half a month’s wage for each of the first five years and a full month for each subsequent year, pro-rated for part years and based on the last wage including housing and other fixed allowances (but not commissions or overtime). When the worker resigns the award is scaled down — nothing under two years, a third between two and five, two thirds between five and ten, and the full amount after ten years. The full award is still due on resignation caused by force majeure, or when a female employee resigns within six months of marriage or three months of childbirth. Termination under Article 80 (gross misconduct) forfeits the award entirely.

Worked example

SAR 9,000 wage, 7.5 years, terminated by employer: 5 × 0.5 × 9,000 = 22,500 plus 2.5 × 9,000 = 22,500 → SAR 45,000. Had the employee resigned, two thirds = SAR 30,000.
