Yes, for expatriates. Saudi Arabia has no personal income tax on employment salaries for Saudi nationals or expatriates, so a Front-Office / Trading Floor Application Support earning the median SAR22K/mo takes home the full SAR 264,000 per year (SAR 22,000 per month) as an expatriate. GOSI social insurance only applies to Saudi national employees.
A Front-Office / Trading Floor Application Support earning the median salary of SAR22K/mo in Saudi Arabia takes home approximately SAR 264,000 per year (SAR 22,000 per month) as an expatriate, since gross salary equals net salary with no income tax deduction.
EOSB is a lump sum your employer owes on exit under Article 84 of Saudi Labor Law, based on basic salary and years of service: half a month's wage per year for the first 5 years, then a full month's wage per year after that, uncapped. Assuming a typical 70% basic-salary split on the SAR22K/mo median, a Front-Office / Trading Floor Application Support would build up approximately SAR 38,500 by year 5 and SAR 115,500 by year 10.
No. EOSB is an employer-funded benefit that accrues separately and is paid as a lump sum when you leave, it is not deducted from your monthly salary the way tax or social security is in other markets. Your monthly take-home stays equal to your gross salary throughout your employment (minus GOSI, for Saudi nationals only).
A senior Front-Office / Trading Floor Application Support earning SAR23K/mo (P75 of the salary range) takes home approximately SAR 276,000 per year (SAR 23,000 per month) as an expatriate, the full gross amount, with no income tax deducted.
A junior Front-Office / Trading Floor Application Support earning SAR22K/mo (P25 of the salary range) takes home approximately SAR 264,000 per year (SAR 22,000 per month) as an expatriate, the full gross amount, with no income tax deducted.
