Compensation components beyond base
For many roles in Saudi Arabia, base salary is only part of total compensation. The components below typically appear separately and can materially change total pay — particularly for Maintenance Technicians arriving from abroad. The range above is for base pay only.
- Housing allowance. Often paid as a separate monthly amount or provided as employer-arranged accommodation. For some roles this can be 20–30% of total compensation.
- End-of-service bonus. A statutory gratuity calculated from years of continuous service, paid on contract completion. Rules vary by country.
- Repatriation flight. Annual return ticket to home country, or a flight allowance equivalent, common in Gulf contracts.
- Health cover. Employer-provided health insurance for the worker and sometimes immediate family.
We surface these as concepts so you have the language to ask a recruiter specifically about each component. We do not estimate amounts here.
