≈ SAR 264,000 gross a year
At a median SAR 22,000/month, contract work grosses about SAR 264,000 a year over 12 months, 22% more than the SAR 216,000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, end-of-service gratuity, and the gaps between contracts.

Yes, for expatriates. Saudi Arabia has no personal income tax on employment salaries for Saudi nationals or expatriates, so a Technical Product Manager (TPM) earning the median SAR18K/mo takes home the full SAR 216,000 per year (SAR 18,000 per month) as an expatriate. GOSI social insurance only applies to Saudi national employees.
A Technical Product Manager (TPM) earning the median salary of SAR18K/mo in Saudi Arabia takes home approximately SAR 216,000 per year (SAR 18,000 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 SAR18K/mo median, a Technical Product Manager (TPM) would build up approximately SAR 31,500 by year 5 and SAR 94,500 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).
