Saudi End of Service Calculator
Estimate your Saudi End of Service Benefit (EOSB) using your latest wage, length of service and the reason your employment relationship ends.
What Is the Saudi End of Service Benefit?
End of Service Benefit (EOSB), also known as gratuity, is an employment benefit that may become payable when an employment relationship ends in Saudi Arabia.
Under the general Saudi Labor Law rules, the calculation is based on the employee's last wage and length of service, with the applicable amount also depending on the reason the employment relationship ends.
How Is Saudi EOSB Calculated?
Under Article 84 of the Saudi Labor Law, the general End of Service Benefit is calculated as follows:
- Half a month's wage for each year of the first five years.
- One month's wage for each year after the first five years.
- Fractions of a year are calculated proportionately.
The last wage received is generally used as the basis for calculating the award, subject to applicable provisions concerning wage components.
How Does Resignation Affect EOSB?
Under Article 85, resignation can affect the amount of the End of Service Benefit.
- Less than 2 years of continuous service: the Article 85 resignation entitlement does not apply.
- At least 2 years and up to 5 years: one-third of the calculated award.
- More than 5 years and less than 10 years: two-thirds of the calculated award.
- 10 years or more: the full calculated award.
The exact legal entitlement can depend on the circumstances of the employment relationship and applicable legal provisions.
Special Cases Under Saudi Labor Law
Article 87 provides certain exceptions to the resignation rules. For example, the full award may apply when a worker leaves employment because of force majeure beyond their control.
Article 87 also provides specific circumstances under which a female worker may be entitled to the full award when terminating the contract following marriage or childbirth.
Example Saudi EOSB Calculation
Suppose an employee has a latest wage of SAR 10,000 and has completed 6 years of service.
The first five years are generally calculated at half a month's wage per year, while the sixth year is calculated at one month's wage.
The resulting basic award may then be adjusted where the employment relationship ends through resignation and the Article 85 conditions apply.
