Start with the wage base used in your final settlement. Saudi Labor Law refers to the last wage for ESB calculation, and allows some variable wage components such as commissions or sales percentages to be excluded if agreed in the contract.
Compare the wage base used by HR with your contract and recent payslips before accepting the final settlement.
Remove unpaid leave or non-service periods from the service duration if your employer excludes them.
Confirm whether it is resignation, employer termination, contract expiry, or an Article 87 exception.
For unpaid dues, contact HRSD through Qiwa dispute tools or the 19911 hotline.
Saudi Labor Law uses the last wage as the base. Fixed regular allowances may be part of the wage. Variable commissions or sales percentages may be excluded if this is clearly agreed in the contract.
Under Article 85, resignation before completing two years gives no end-of-service award, unless a full-award exception applies (such as Article 81 or specific legal cases).
Yes. Natural contract expiry or employer termination is generally calculated as the full Article 84 award, unless a specific legal forfeiture applies.
Yes. Select Article 80 dismissal only when the employer has dismissed the worker for a serious violation that legally forfeits ESB.
No. Enter the final service duration after excluding unpaid leave or any non-service period your employer is legally excluding.
Months and days are converted to a decimal fraction of a year and the same Article 84 formula is applied. For example, 6 months = 0.5 year, so half a year's entitlement is added.
Disclaimer: This calculator is an informational estimate based on Saudi Labor Law Articles 84, 85 and 87. Final entitlement can change because of contract wording, wage components, unpaid leave, Article 80 dismissal, deductions, court interpretation, or HRSD guidance. Always verify with HRSD / Qiwa or a qualified professional.
