How it works

What's included

Monthly salary and allowances, annual bonus, flights and school allowances, the end-of-service gratuity that builds up each year under each country's law, and GOSI deductions for Saudi nationals — minus your living costs.

Why you enter living costs

Rent, schools and lifestyle vary enormously between cities and families, so your own numbers give a far better comparison than generic averages.

Frequently asked questions

Is housing allowance included in gratuity?

In Saudi Arabia yes, because the award is based on the actual wage. In the UAE and Qatar gratuity is based on basic salary only.

Can I compare offers in different currencies?

Yes — results are converted into the comparison currency you choose using current exchange rates.
