Different laws, different formulas
The Saudi calculator follows the Saudi Labor Law for the private sector: half a month's wage for each of the first five years and a full month for each year after, with reductions when you resign before ten years. The wage includes regular allowances.
The UAE calculator follows Decree-Law 33 of 2021 for the mainland private sector: 21 days' basic wage for each of the first five years and 30 days for each year after, capped at two years' wage, with at least one year of service required.
Length of service
Both calculators count the first and the last working day, and do not count unpaid leave the law excludes. The work experience calculator uses the same counting, so you can check the service length on its own or add up several jobs.
Frequently asked questions
Is the result the amount my employer must pay?
It is an estimate under the law's main rules. Your contract, any unpaid wages, deductions or a court or labour office decision can change the final settlement.
Which workers are covered?
The Saudi calculator covers private-sector employees under the Saudi Labor Law. The UAE calculator covers the mainland private sector; free zones such as DIFC and ADGM have their own rules.
Does resigning reduce the award?
In Saudi Arabia, yes: resigning before 10 years gives a reduced award, and before 2 years none. Under the UAE law, the award does not depend on who ended the contract once you have a full year of service.
How soon must my employer pay the end-of-service award?
In Saudi Arabia, within a week if the employer ends the contract, or two weeks if you resign. In the UAE, within 14 days of the contract ending.
Do part-years count?
Yes. Both calculators give credit for the months and days beyond your last full year, so five and a half years is paid as five and a half, not five.
