Basic salary plus fixed allowances such as housing and transport, unless your contract leaves them out. Commissions are usually excluded.

Article 84 of the Saudi Labor Law gives a worker an end-of-service award (EOSB) when the contract ends, based on the last wage:
- half a month's wage for each of the first five years
- a full month's wage for each year after that
- part years paid in proportion to the time worked
award = ½ × wage × first 5 years + wage × years after
If you resign
Article 85 reduces the award when the worker resigns:
| Service when you resign | You receive |
|---|---|
| Under 2 years | Nothing |
| 2 to 5 years | One third of the award |
| 5 to 10 years | Two thirds of the award |
| 10 years or more | The full award |
You still get the full award if you leave because of force majeure. A woman who leaves within six months of marrying, or within three months of giving birth, also gets the full award.
Worked example
You worked from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2024, which is 7 years, on a monthly wage of SAR 10,000. The first five years give 5 × 5,000 = SAR 25,000, and the next two give 2 × 10,000 = SAR 20,000. The full award is SAR 45,000. If you resigned, you would get two thirds of it, which is SAR 30,000.
This is an estimate for general information, not legal advice. What counts as "wage" can depend on your contract. Check with your employer or the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) before relying on it.
