How to Calculate Your Saudi Net Salary
Your salary in Saudi Arabia is made up of several components. Understanding each one helps you plan your finances better β especially as an expat sending money home.
What is Basic Salary?
The basic salary is the fixed amount agreed in your employment contract before any allowances. In Saudi Arabia, GOSI contributions and End of Service (EOS) gratuity are calculated based on your basic salary, not your total package.
Housing Allowance (Ψ¨Ψ―Ω Ψ§ΩΨ³ΩΩ)
Most employers in Saudi Arabia provide a housing allowance of 25% of basic salary. Some companies provide company accommodation instead. Housing allowance is not subject to GOSI deductions.
Transport Allowance (Ψ¨Ψ―Ω Ψ§ΩΩ ΩΨ§Ψ΅ΩΨ§Ψͺ)
Transport allowance is typically 10β15% of basic salary. Like housing, it is not subject to GOSI. Many employees receive SAR 800β1,500 per month as transport allowance.
GOSI Deductions
GOSI (General Organization for Social Insurance) applies only to Saudi nationals. As a Saudi employee, your contribution is 10% of your basic salary, with the employer contributing an additional 12%. Most expats are not subject to GOSI deductions.
Saudi employee contribution: 10% of basic salary
Employer contribution: 12% of basic salary
Non-Saudi (expat) employees: generally exempt from GOSI
Frequently Asked Questions

βΎ
For Saudi nationals, the minimum wage is SAR 4,000 per month. There is no official minimum wage for expatriate workers, though market rates vary by industry and nationality.
Can my employer deduct money from my salary?
βΎ
Under Saudi Labour Law, deductions are only allowed for GOSI contributions, agreed loans, and disciplinary deductions (limited to 5 days' salary per month). Unauthorized deductions are illegal.
How is overtime calculated in Saudi Arabia?
βΎ
Overtime in Saudi Arabia is paid at 150% of your hourly basic rate for hours beyond 8 per day or 48 per week. During Ramadan, working hours are reduced to 6 hours per day for Muslim employees.
