Enter your monthly wage, your start date, your last working day and the reason your employment ended. The calculator applies the Saudi Labor Law and shows the full gratuity, the share you are entitled to, and how it was worked out.

How is end of service calculated in Saudi Arabia?

Article 84 of the Saudi Labor Law gives every employee whose contract ends an end of service award (gratuity) based on the last wage:

Half a month's wage for each of the first five years of service.
A full month's wage for each year after the fifth.
Parts of a year count proportionally.

The wage is the actual wage: the basic salary plus fixed allowances such as housing and transport.

End of service on resignation (Article 85)

Service when resigning	Share of the gratuity
Less than 2 years	Nothing
2 to 5 years	One third
More than 5 and less than 10 years	Two thirds
10 years or more	The full gratuity

If the employer ends the contract, the fixed-term contract expires, or both sides agree to end it, the employee gets the full gratuity. Under Article 87, it is also paid in full if the employee leaves because of force majeure, or if a female employee ends the contract within six months of marriage or three months of giving birth.

Example: a wage of SAR 10,000 (basic + allowances) and 7 years of service. The first 5 years give 5 × 5,000 = SAR 25,000 and the next 2 years give 2 × 10,000 = SAR 20,000, so the full gratuity is SAR 45,000. If the employee resigned, they get two thirds: SAR 30,000.

Does the gratuity apply to expats?

Yes. The end of service rules in the Labor Law apply to Saudi and non-Saudi employees in the private sector alike, whatever the nationality.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate end of service in Saudi Arabia?

Multiply half your monthly wage by your years of service up to 5, then add your full monthly wage for every year after the fifth. Parts of a year count proportionally. If you resigned, apply the Article 85 share.

Is the gratuity calculated on basic salary or total salary?

The Labor Law uses the actual wage, which is the basic salary plus fixed allowances such as housing and transport, unless your contract gives you a better basis.

Do I get end of service if I resign before 2 years?

No. Under Article 85 an employee who resigns with less than two years of service is not entitled to the gratuity.

How much is the gratuity after 10 years if I resign?

From 10 years of service you receive the full gratuity even if you resign.

When must the employer pay the end of service benefit?

Under Article 88 the employer must pay the worker's dues within one week of the end of the contract, or within two weeks if the worker resigned.
