How it is calculated
Service is counted in days and divided by 365, so part-years count pro rata. On a resignation the Article 85 share applies to the full award.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the end-of-service award?
Multiply half the last wage by the years of service up to five, and the full wage by each year after five, then add the two. On a resignation apply one third for consecutive service from 2 up to and including 5 years, two thirds above 5 and under 10, and the full award from 10.
What is the award after 7 years on 10,000 SAR?
If the employer ended the contract, 45,000 SAR: 25,000 for the first five years and 20,000 for the next two. If the employee resigned, two thirds, which is 30,000 SAR.
Does an employee who resigns before two years get anything?
No. Under Article 85 a resigning employee with less than two years of service receives no award, unless an Article 87 or 81 case applies.
Is this calculator legally exact?
It estimates the general rule in Articles 84 and 85. Contract terms, the work regulation or details of the wage can change the result, so check with a specialist before relying on it.
