The Saudi Notice Period Calculator estimates the minimum notice period and the value of missing notice days for an indefinite-term employment contract under the current Saudi Labor Law rule represented by the calculator. It distinguishes between monthly-paid employees and other wage frequencies and, for monthly-paid workers, between termination initiated by the employee and termination initiated by the employer.

How it works

Enter the monthly wage, choose who is terminating the indefinite-term contract, choose whether wages are paid monthly or on another basis, and enter the notice days actually provided. For a monthly-paid employee, the calculator uses at least 30 days when the employee initiates termination and at least 60 days when the employer initiates termination. For other wage frequencies it uses 30 days. Any shortfall is valued using the monthly wage divided by 30.

The formula

Required days = monthly and employer termination ? 60 : 30; Missing days = max(0, Required days − Given days); Daily wage = Monthly wage ÷ 30; Estimated compensation = Missing days × Daily wage

Required days are the statutory minimum represented by this calculator for an indefinite-term contract. Given days are the notice days actually provided. Missing days are any shortfall below the required number. Compensation is an estimate based on the wage and the missing period.

Worked example

A monthly-paid employee earning 9,000 SAR is terminated by the employer with only 30 days of notice. The calculator uses a 60-day minimum, so 30 days are missing. The daily wage estimate is 300 SAR and the estimated missing-notice compensation is 9,000 SAR.

Frequently asked questions

Does this calculator apply to every employment contract?

No. It is designed around the notice rule for indefinite-term contracts. Fixed-term contracts and other termination situations can be governed by different provisions, the contract itself and other Labor Law articles.

Why is employee notice 30 days but employer notice 60 days for a monthly-paid worker?

The amended Article 75 differentiates between the party initiating termination where wages are paid monthly: at least 30 days for termination initiated by the employee and at least 60 days when initiated by the employer.

What if the contract provides a longer notice period?

This calculator focuses on the statutory minimum represented in its logic. A valid contractual term can affect the required notice, so the employment contract should always be reviewed before relying on the estimate.

Does notice compensation prove that a termination was lawful?

No. Notice and compensation for a missing notice period are different from questions about whether termination was legitimate or whether other compensation may be due under other provisions.

This calculator is limited to the notice-period scenario described above and is not a legal determination of whether termination is lawful. Review the employment contract and applicable Saudi Labor Law provisions for the actual case.
