What Is the End of Service Award in Saudi Arabia?
The end of service award, often called EOSB, is a lump-sum payment your employer must pay when your employment ends. It rewards you for your years of service and is paid on top of your final wages and unused annual leave.
The rules come from Articles 84 to 88 of the Saudi Labor Law, which the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development oversees. They apply to both Saudi and non-Saudi employees in the private sector. Moreover, the February 2025 amendments to the Labor Law did not change these articles.
How the Saudi End of Service Calculator Works
The award is based on your last wage and builds up in two stages. Partial years are paid pro-rata, and there is no maximum cap.
First, you earn half a month's wage for each year.
Then you earn one full month's wage for each further year.
Finally, if you resign, a reduction may apply based on your service.
The formula
Award = (Wage × 0.5 × first 5 years) + (Wage × years after 5)
Saudi End of Service If You Resign
If you resign, Article 85 reduces your award based on your length of service:
| Years of service | Share of award |
|---|---|
| Less than 2 years | None |
| 2 to 5 years | One-third (33.3%) |
| More than 5 and less than 10 years | Two-thirds (66.7%) |
| 10 years or more | Full (100%) |
- Marriage and childbirth: a female employee who resigns within 6 months of marriage or 3 months of giving birth gets the full award.
- Force majeure: similarly, leaving because of events beyond your control does not reduce the award.
- Employer's breach: if you leave because your employer broke the contract, you are not treated as resigning, so the full award applies.

For example, here are three employees. In each case, the wage includes allowances.
His last wage is SAR 10,000 after 8 years, and his employer ended the contract.
- First: 5 × half month 2.5 months
- Then: 3 × 1 month 3 months
- Finally: 5.5 × 10,000 SAR 55,000
Similarly, he earned SAR 10,000 for 8 years, but he resigned.
- First: full award SAR 55,000
- Then: 5–10 years rule Two-thirds
- Finally: × 2/3 SAR 36,667
He earned SAR 6,000 and resigned after 3 years, so he gets one-third.
- First: 3 × half month 1.5 months
- Then: 1.5 × 6,000 SAR 9,000
- Finally: × 1/3 SAR 3,000
