Saudi HR & Payroll Toolkit: GOSI, End of Service, Working Days (2026)
Payroll in Saudi Arabia follows rules that general calculators get wrong: GOSI is charged on basic salary plus housing only, with different rates for Saudis and expatriates and a new law that raises the rate every July; the end-of-service award depends on years of service and on whether the employee resigned; the weekend is Friday and Saturday, and many contracts count calendar days, not working days. This hub brings together the tools built for that work and the guides that explain the numbers behind them.
The calculators run in your browser (nothing is uploaded), use the 2026 rates with the law articles cited on each page, and are maintained by someone who runs an HR system for a multi-branch Saudi company. Use them for offers, payslip checks, leave and final settlements, then read the guides when a figure needs explaining to an employee or an auditor.

FAQ
How much GOSI is deducted from a Saudi employee in 2026?
9.75% of basic + housing for employees registered before 3 July 2024; 10.75% from July 2026 for those registered later under the new law, rising to 11.75% by 2028. Non-Saudis pay nothing (employer 2%).
How is the end-of-service award calculated in Saudi Arabia?
Half a month's wage for each of the first five years and a full month for each year after (Labor Law Article 84), based on the last wage; resignation reduces it to one third (2-5 years), two thirds (5-10 years) or the full amount (10+ years) under Article 85.
Are these calculators official?
No. They apply the published rates and law articles and show the figures used, but a final settlement should be confirmed with HR or GOSI/the Labor Office.
