How the Saudi end-of-service award works

The award builds up with each year of service: half a month's wage for each of the first 5 years, then a full month's wage for each year after that.

Award = last wage × (½ × years up to 5 + 1 × years after 5)

If you resign

  • Under 2 years of service: no award
  • 2 years up to and including 5 years: one third of the award
  • More than 5 and less than 10 years: two thirds of the award
  • 10 years or more: the full award

Worked example

On a last wage of SAR 8,000 after 7 years, the full award is 5 × ½ × 8,000 + 2 × 8,000 = SAR 36,000. Resigning after 7 years gives two thirds of that: SAR 24,000.

Which wage is used?

Your last actual wage: basic pay plus the allowances you're regularly paid, such as housing and transport (Articles 2 and 84). Your contract may leave out commissions and sales percentages (Article 86).

The February 2025 amendments to the Labor Law did not change Articles 84 to 88. They changed overtime (Article 107) and notice periods (Article 75).
