Calculate your end of service benefits (EOSB) under Articles 84 and 85 of the Saudi Labour Law — including the resignation scale that many calculators get wrong. Saudi Arabia has no income tax; this award is your end-of-service entitlement.
In short: Saudi end of service benefits pay half a month’s last wage (basic salary plus fixed allowances) per year for the first five years and a full month per year after that, with no cap. If you resign, Article 85 pays one third after 2–5 years, two thirds after 5–10 years, the full award after 10 years, and nothing under 2 years.

Articles 84–85 of the Saudi Labour Law (Royal Decree M/51):
Worked example: last wage SAR 10,000, 7 years, employer-ended → (10,000 × 0.5 × 5) + (10,000 × 1 × 2) = SAR 25,000 + SAR 20,000 = SAR 45,000. If the same employee resigned, Article 85 pays ⅔ of that = SAR 30,000.
Basic plus fixed allowances (housing, transport) as written in your contract. This is a key difference from the UAE, where only basic salary counts.
One third of the full Article 84 award (Article 85). Before 2 years it is zero; from 5 years it is two thirds; from 10 years, the full award.
No statutory cap exists under Articles 84–85.
In Article 87 cases (force majeure; marriage/childbirth windows for female workers) and after 10+ years of service.
No — the February 2025 amendments changed procedures (probation, notice, Qiwa resignation), not the Articles 84–85 amounts.
