How to Use the ESB Calculator
Start with the wage base used in your final settlement. Saudi Labor Law refers to the last wage for ESB calculation, and allows some variable wage components such as commissions or sales percentages to be excluded if agreed in the contract.
Before accepting final settlement
- Confirm the wage base used by HR and compare it with your contract and recent payslips.
- Deduct unpaid leave or non-service periods from the service duration if your employer excludes them.
- Check whether the ending reason is resignation, employer termination, contract expiry, or an Article 87 exception.
- For unpaid dues, contact HRSD through Qiwa dispute tools or the 19911 hotline.
