Enter your details and press "Calculate award" to see the result
How is the end-of-service award calculated?
- Wage: The last total wage (basic + fixed allowances), excluding commissions and variable bonuses.
- Length of service in days: Full months from the start date to the day after the last working day × 30, plus the remaining days. A year = 360 days.
- Article 84: Half a month's wage for each of the first five years (1,800 days), and a full month's wage for each year after that.
- Resignation — Article 85: Less than two full years: nothing; two to under five years: one third of the award; five to under ten years: two thirds; ten years or more: the full award.
FAQs
Is the end-of-service award calculated on the basic or the total salary?
On the last total wage: basic plus fixed allowances such as housing and transport, excluding commissions and variable bonuses.
How much is my award if my salary is 10,000 SAR and I served 5 years?
If the employer ended the service or the contract expired: 5 × (10,000 ÷ 2) = 25,000 SAR. If you resigned, you are owed two thirds of that: 16,666.67 SAR.
Am I owed an award if I resign before completing two years?
No. An employee who resigns before completing 24 full months is not owed an award, under Article 85.
Is an employee dismissed under Article 80 owed an end-of-service award?
No. Dismissal for any of the cases in Article 80 forfeits the award.

How is overtime pay calculated?
- Overtime hourly rate = (total wage ÷ 30 ÷ daily working hours) + 50% × (basic wage ÷ 30 ÷ daily working hours).
- Overtime daily rate = (total ÷ 30) + (basic ÷ 60), and it doesn't change with the number of working hours.
- Amount = number of days × daily rate + number of hours × hourly rate.
FAQs
What is the overtime hourly rate with a basic wage of 8,000 and a total wage of 10,000?
With an 8-hour day: 10,000 ÷ 30 ÷ 8 = 41.67, plus 50% of 8,000 ÷ 30 ÷ 8 = 16.67, so the hourly rate is 58.33 SAR.
Is the 50% calculated on the total or the basic wage?
On the basic wage only, and it is added to the hourly rate calculated from the total wage.
What are the standard working hours in Saudi Arabia?
8 hours a day or 48 hours a week, and during Ramadan 6 hours a day or 36 a week for Muslims.
